The great viscosity and fresh acidity of the Lincourt Steel Chardonnay mirrors the elegantly balanced profile of Chef Shane’s Hamachi Crudo.
Chef’s Notes
This dish has smooth richness as well as tangy, bright flavors which are not lost on the palate when paired with our crisp, lively unoaked Chardonnay. The luxurious Hamachi and its buttery rich avocado accoutrement are given a burst of zesty lemon and white soy for a clean, delicate umami profile which pulls the wine’s minerality guiding all flavors to “pop” on your palate.
