Awards/Ratings
(Familia Zuccardi's higher‑end Chardonnays like Botanico/El Camino have received high scores. )

Tasting Note
Bright citrus and white nectarine with lemon curd, toasted almond and flinty/wet‑stone minerality. Medium‑plus body, crisp acidity and chalky persistence on the finish.

Food Pairing
Western: roast chicken with lemon, grilled salmon, creamy pasta with mushrooms. Asian: miso‑glazed cod, tempura prawns, pork gyoza, milder Thai coconut curries.

Production Method
Early‑morning harvest, direct press; fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and neutral/old French oak; aged on fine lees with light lees contact (~6 months), minimal new oak influence.
