Perhaps this post is a week too late, but fingers crossed we’ll be reigniting the BBQ’s when that highly anticipated heat wave hits Irish shores this summer. Niall’s Romaine Burritos sing summer. They’ve got that fresh, light and refreshing bite to go hand in hand with everything to do with summer BBQ’s, including screaming kids and scrounging dogs.
There’s a good crunch to this snack and a lovely creamy texture from the avocado. Many New World Chardonnay’s show good fruit characteristics, but also have that creamy mouthfeel if the oak has been well integrated during the winemaking process.
A recent addition to our range, the Tabalí Reserva Chardonnay, has that full-bodied palate but as only 20% of the juice has been aged in oak, it’s a very fruity wine, making it a winner with both Chardonnay drinkers and Chardonnay haters.
Heading to France we have another 100% Chardonnay, but this time it’s sparkling. Aureus Crémant de Loire Brut again has that full-bodied, savoury/buttery texture (not unlike Champagne) that will marry beautifully with these Romaine Burritos. The grapes selected for this 2002 sparkler where taken from the same vineyard used for an earlier vintage which won one of only 5 Gold Medals in the Best Chardonnay in the World Competition.
