Montenegrin Chardonnay

Montenegrin Chardonnay - On the rocky soil of microlocality ‘Milješ’, beside the river or better,lost river Cijevna,running from the Albanian mountains nearby, this old French variety has found all that she likes: poor and rocky soil, lime,water permeable and warm soil.It gives wine of light straw-coloured colour.

Its bouquet is typical and recognizable by fresh,fruity aromas of pineapple and green apple. Some tasters may recognizenhalf-ripen apple, the others walnut,as well. Podgorica’s Chardonnay, as the child of the South,belongs to the type of full bodied wines,dry with structure and considerable volume of alcohol.The wine is greenish,with balanced taste,nice aftertaste without bitterness and astringency.The grapes are vinified by the procedure for the white wines,and the use of selected yeasts and low fermentation temperature
(14-17°C), make the taste and smell of this wine remain the same.

It is served at 8-10°C. It is recommended with all fish appetizers,seafood, risottos and piquant soups.
