Tasting Note

Aromas of white flowers and ripe pear mingle with rich, jammy fruit notes from a fully mature harvest. The palate is smooth and honeyed, with subtle hints of vanilla and toast. The finish highlights the ripe fruit character beautifully, suggesting excellent aging potential of over five years for this Chardonnay

Product Notes

Domaine de la Zouina Epicuria Chardonnay exhibits a brilliant allure of exotic elegance. Hailing from Morocco's Meknes wine region, it features a vibrant, golden hue and a tantalising bouquet of peach and pear. Unmasking a complex scheme of fresh citrus, tropical fruits, and a subtle hint of vanilla, it culminates into an exquisite symphony on the palate, accompanied by a gentle caress of oak. Medium-bodied with a silky texture, this wine is beautifully balanced, offering a delicate but persistent finish. A tempting choice for lovers of luxuriant Chardonnay.
