Weekend wine with Blake Creedon

POOR ol’ chardonnay.

I discovered the other day that by suggesting alternatives to two broadly contrasting grapes, chardonnay and sauvignon blanc, I may have inadvertently contributed to the prejudice against the blameless grape. Nothing could be further from what I’d intended.

A half decent chardonnay will offer delicious interplay between the acute ping of citrus fruit and a contrasting plush rich texture.
