This is one of the few unoaked Chardonnays that I always seem to like. No surprise from Morgan – they don’t treat this as a novelty at all, but rather as a serious alternative to their other Chardonnay offerings. It is lighter, brighter, and well suited to warm weather sipping or pairing with salads or seafood – it will even work with oysters. Contains three clones: Musqué, Roger Rose and 96.
