The Wightmare is a mythical horse that you can ride into another dimension. An evocative notion. Alpha Box & Dice like to think that their Wightmare Chardonnay can also transport you into another world – one of crisp delicious aromas, flavours and effortless pourmeanotherglassness. Wightmare is crisp, energetic and aromatic white wine, with punchy sherbety citrus fruit aromas and a waft of frangipani. There is substance and texture to the palate with flavours of pithy grapefruit and blossom, with a bone-dry, vivid, stony finish. This is much lighter than a standard Aussie Chardonnay with emphasis on the grapes and less focus on oak. Ideal on its own, or with fresh shucked oysters.
