McGuigan Black Label Chardonnay Piccolo

Region: South Eastern Australia
Current Vintage: 2016 | Cartons 24 x 200ml

This is a flavoursome wine with a soft, smooth creamy palate. It has the great sweet tropical fruit and melon flavours of chardonnay with a touch of caramel oak. The flavours integrate nicely in the mouth and result in a lingering clean finish.

A versatile wine which makes a great accompaniment to most food, in particular cream based pasta and succulent roast chicken dishes.

McGuigan Black Label Merlot is a soft and flavoursome wine with ripe fruit flavours of raspberry, cherry and plums. This is nicely integrated with the subtle oak characters of caramel and vanilla characters.

The soft velvety texture of merlot makes it a great partner for a range of dishes featuring red meat, pork and chicken.

A staple of Australian palates, the McGuigan label has been consistently reliable. Just enough for a glass, this little number has blueberry and sweet raspberry.
