Curated by: Beatrice Ruzzon, Sommelier @ Mugaritz

Pale lemon color, vibrant, with lovely green hints. On the nose, medium intensity of green apple, white blossom, lemon juice, and peel, but also a little bit of a butter biscuit-like touch, given by the brief time spent in the barrel. It is citrusy and green, crispy and funny. To the palate, it seems to start off-dry, gentle even if very high in acidity, with an agile palate that asks for the second sip, and third, fourth, …..

It is a surprise of paradoxes this incredible Australian Chardonnay: structured even if super fresh, elegant even if funny, citrusy even with its adorable and sexy touch of new American oak, with a considerable alcoholic content (13.5 %).

It's all about the vibe...

Beatrice Ruzzon pairs this Max's Chardonnay with the song Welcome to the Jungle by Guns 'n Roses

"When I was a child, the first things that I heard about Australia were things like “That country is a jungle!”, “There are a lot of dangerous insects and animals!”, and so on.

Ok, this wine, of course, is a “jungle”, but of sensations and funny things: citrusy even full, mineral even woody, so, a jungle!

Drinking it while listening to this amazing song, is one of the most relaxing and energizing (of course, at the same time!) things to do in the evening, after your day, man!

It’s also the perfect bottle to open at a rock festival because of its screw-cap closure!

Welcome to the Jungle, baby!"
