Sirch Chardonnay 2020

Sirch is a boutique winery located in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy, a region known for producing elegant, refined white wines. The Sirch Chardonnay 2020 exemplifies the winery’s focus on crafting wines that showcase the purity of fruit and the unique terroir of this cool-climate area. While Friuli is traditionally known for its native grape varieties, Chardonnay thrives here thanks to the region's proximity to the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, providing ideal growing conditions for producing fresh, vibrant wines with balanced acidity.

The 2020 vintage was fermented in stainless steel to preserve the fresh fruit characteristics, with no oak influence, allowing the wine’s natural flavours to shine through.

Appearance: Pale straw with a light greenish hue, reflecting its youthful freshness.

Aroma: The nose is crisp and clean, offering aromas of green apple, pear, and lemon zest, with subtle floral notes of white blossom and a hint of almond.

Taste: Light to medium-bodied with refreshing acidity. The palate showcases bright flavours of green apple, pear, and citrus, with a slight hint of melon. The wine has a clean, mineral edge, giving it a crisp, refreshing character that highlights the purity of the fruit.

Finish: The finish is crisp and refreshing, with lingering notes of citrus and a touch of minerality, leaving a clean, bright impression on the palate.

Food Pairing: Sirch Chardonnay 2020 pairs wonderfully with light, fresh dishes such as grilled fish or a simple lemon-herb chicken. The wine’s acidity and citrus notes complement the delicate flavours of seafood, while its crispness cuts through the richness of the chicken. It would also pair well with a fresh summer salad or a creamy pasta with a light, herb-based sauce, enhancing the dish without overpowering it.
