Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Gruener Veltliner

Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gruener Veltliner are my top picks for Salad. Sauvignon Blanc and Gruner Veltliner both have herby notes that complement salads with enough acid to match tart vinaigrettes, while a Chardonnay can be a good pick for creamy salad dressings.

Tom Eddy Manchester Ridge Chardonnay

The aroma is intense with many nuanced layers that marry classic California Chardonnay characteristics with a kiss of old world style. Right off the top, beautiful Chardonnay varietal notes commingle with subtle toast, understated butter cream and crisp green apple. During the ageing process, weekly lees stirring in the barrel left the palate rich and full without being flabby as the signature Manchester acidity leaves a clean and lingering finish. The French Oak barrels bestow a tinge of brown sugar that is nuanced and inviting without being overbearing. This allows for the showcasing of the superb fruit that comes from this one-of-a-kind vineyard. Cheers!
