Wines of the Day: Meet the elegant Chardonnays

The elegant, well rounded lady in the room, with a touch of finesse and a character full of deep quality


Wines are chosen according to high point scored and 4 or 5 star value for money. In other words, for the price that you pay for the quality which is in the bottle, you will be well pleased with your purchase. Wines with a five star value offer outstanding quality for the price, four star offer very good quality for the price while a one star value, well, it’s your choice.
