USA
The United States boasts a dynamic beverage industry, with a thriving craft beer scene that has transformed the landscape of American brewing, producing everything from hop-forward IPAs to rich stouts. The country is also known for its world-class wines, particularly from regions like California’s Napa Valley and Oregon’s Willamette Valley, as well as innovative spirits, including bourbon and rye whiskey from the American South. Additionally, the rise of artisanal distilleries has led to a resurgence in the production of unique liquors and flavored spirits, reflecting the diverse flavours and cultural influences found across the nation.
Mistral 2017 Chardonnay
The award-winning winemaker, Matt Praetzel, sourced the grapes from some of the best vineyards of Lodi, California (Wine Enthusiast’s “Wine Region of the Year” for 2015).
Warm days and cool nights bless this region with highly viable fruits. Expertly crafted and aged for 6 months in French Oak barrels, The Mistral is full-bodied, deliciously dry and features exquisite richness with pronounced, ripe tropical fruit notes. It has a smooth, creamy body and ends with a long, citrus finish.
Pairs excellently with fish, mussels and clams, and soft cheese.
