KWV Chardonnay 2010



I always have white wine in my fridge, especially during summer. The sun sets here after 9pm at the moment, and it's not yet summer. So when it's as warm as it's been this last weekend, I like to relax and have a glas of white wine. My favourite at the moment is Chardonnay, and there's two I pick. The one is the KWV and the other is the Drostdy Hof, but more about the Drostdy Hof another time.

Tonight it was roast on the menu, with potatoes and spinach leaves. Usually a good meal for a red, but because of the fantastic weather, the heat, and the sun which seems to never go down up here in the north, the pick was the KWV Chardonnay.

It's not as yellow as you would expect, and the smell is not as strong, but the taste is unmistakably Chardonnay. A slightly wooded dry white wine, fresh and fruity with tropical and citrus flavours. It has to however be very cold.

69kr is a bargain if you ask me. Have a look at Systembolaget, nr.7055.
