Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Alcoholic Drink, White Wine, Ingredient, Food Product Category, Sauvignon Blanc, Wine, Dry White Wine, Riesling, Drink, Menu Item Type
Chardonnay, Alcoholic Drink, and White Wine are my top picks for Clam Chowder. Chowder can benefit from a crisp white to cut through the rich, creamy broth - or you can go big or go home with a rich, buttery chardonnay. The Kumeu River Hunting Hill Chardonnay with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 60 dollars per bottle.
Kumeu River Hunting Hill Chardonnay
This wine has fragrant lemon/lime blossom aromas on the nose that typify the lovely perfume from fruit grown in Hunting Hill. The 2013 vintage was affected by a spring frost and the subsequent yields were approximately one-half the usual size. The summer was one of the best on record and the grapes were beautifully clean, ripe and intensely flavored, creating a wine of intense concentration and complexity that will be very long-lived.
