Wine review: Octtava Piano Chardonnay
If you love a Chardonnay that delivers the best of both worlds, then have I got a Chardonnay for you. The Octtava Piano Chardonnay is sure to be a crowd pleaser because it has those classic creamy notes from malo alongside bright acidity. I absolutely love this wine, and it is perfect for a special occasion or gift for that Chardonnay lover in your life. Pair it with a good meal like roast chicken or risotto, or even a creamy brie. Whatever it is, you are sure to have a good time with this wine!
On the nose, the Octtava Piano Chardonnay has notes of nectarine and lemon alongside nougat come together in a wine that promises beautiful flavours. And it delivers on the palate with a hint of honey and nougat alongside those fruit notes. It is beautifully balanced between notes of unoaked Chardonnay and oaked Chardonnay, coming together into a wine that shows the care that’s gone into making it just right. It is the kind of wine that has an incredible structure, and one you want to keep going back to.
