Rutini Dominio Chardonnay 2023
KShs3,245 incl. of VAT
Rutini Dominio Chardonnay 2023 is guided by altitude, texture and precision. The fruit shows clarity and ripeness without heaviness, while partial oak ageing contributes structure rather than sweetness. There is a sense of seamless flow across the palate, where freshness, fruit and subtle creaminess remain aligned.
Instead of opulence, the wine delivers measured richness and quiet complexity, making it equally compelling as a standalone glass or alongside refined cuisine.
Tasting Notes (flowing)
Bright pale gold with youthful brilliance. The nose opens with ripe pear, white peach and citrus peel, layered with subtle notes of vanilla, toasted nuts and delicate spice.
On the palate, the wine feels smooth yet energetic. Stone fruit richness and citrus tension glide through a finely textured frame, supported by refreshing acidity. A gentle touch of oak adds contour and depth, leading to a long, clean finish with hints of minerality and soft creaminess.
Food Pairing
This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with grilled prawns, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes and seared scallops. Its texture and freshness also complement butter-based sauces, risotto and soft cheeses, where richness meets vibrant acidity.
