Frequently asked about Ronco del Gnemiz Salars Chardonnay
What does Salars Chardonnay taste like?
Yellow apple, almond blossom, white peach, honey and hay on the nose; yellow stone fruit, almond cream, lemon pith and a saline finish on the palate. Medium-bodied with high acidity and a long finish.
How does Salars differ from a Cote de Beaune Chardonnay?
Salars takes the restrained-oak Friulian idiom rather than the new-oak New World style. Lower extract, higher acid, more saline finish, less toast and tropical fruit.
