The 2023 Lis Neris Chardonnay is a fresh and elegant expression from Friuli-Venezia Giulia in northern Italy, crafted from 100% Chardonnay grown on limestone and gravel soils that enhance purity and aromatic clarity. The nose is bright and inviting, showing notes of yellow apple, pear and citrus, complemented by delicate floral hints and a subtle mineral nuance.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a crisp, juicy profile, supported by lively acidity and a smooth, balanced texture. Flavours of orchard fruit and lemon zest carry through to a clean, refreshing finish. The style is vibrant and approachable, emphasizing purity and drinkability over richness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great everyday premium white for customers who enjoy clean, unoaked Chardonnay styles. It’s ideal for those who prefer freshness and minerality over buttery or oaky profiles. This is not a heavy wine - it’s light, precise and very food-friendly. Drink now or over the next 2–4 years. Perfect with seafood, risotto, light pasta or as an aperitif.
