| Winemaker | Cricova, Moldova |
| Volume | 0.75 |

| Food Suggestions | Virtually any fish dishes, Chicken as well as some red meats dishes such as cold lamb, peppery salami. Hot Curry dishes. |
| Critics Opinion | This has a surprisingly pale golden colour given it's relative maturity and a fresh, appetising nose of pear and apple with a little oatmeally richness. On the palate it is a bold style of Chardonnay that has good fruit on the mid-palate with lots of orchard fruits and melon, before a powerful lemony acidity is tempered by some vanillin oak. It is a solid and tasty Chardonnay with only 12.5% alcohol, and pretty good value at it price of. 86/100, Tom Cannavan |

Loved it with baked fish! Review by Paul (Posted on 15/12/2008)
It happened that I had an Australian Chardonnay wine at home, so I could compare with this Cricova one. The Cricova wine didnt have the intense colour or floral-aromatic bouquet as the Australian one, but it went really, really well with baked fish. I could tell you that it was a match made in heaven. Honestly. I rarely can find a sub £10 wine to be a good match for the baked fish my lovely wife cooks, but this was spot on - I am a happy man! First wine I try from you guys and you got it right. Well done! Tomorrow I will open a red :)

Crisp and clean Review by Ray (Posted on 15/12/2008)
I just thought I would share this review with my fella Cricovan wine fans, this chardonnay is a clean and crisp wine which does go down well. As Clive the reviewer says has a hint of citrus fruit which is a treat after being chilled this is something to enjoy after a stressful day. Try a bottle it was free delivery and I will be buying another 2-3 while the delivery is free!
