Iconic Wines 'Heroine' Chardonnay 2018 Review
It’s always awesome when a Chardonnay can have depth and refreshment at the same time, and not be bogged down by woody intensity and a ripe vanilla bean. This is such a balanced wine from this grape. The palate has a nice natural grip, while the acidity holds everything in place not weighing you down. It works with food, but I’m thinking just a legit cheese plate and some good friends is the best pairing here.
