Goose Bay's Marlborough Chardonnay is a barrel-aged kosher New Zealand white with crisp citrus fruit and a gentle vanilla-and-toast lift from time on the lees. Made in small quantities, it drinks with real polish for the price.

Mood: Bright, creamy, refined.

Tasting notes

Aromas of white peach, lemon curd, green apple and a whiff of vanilla and toast. The palate is dry and medium-bodied, with a mealy lees texture, citrus and stone fruit, and balanced French and American oak. A clean, subtly creamy finish.

Food pairing

Pairs with roast chicken, baked salmon, creamy dairy kugel, and a Shabbos kiddush spread.
