In the Spotlight: Lindt Excellence Pineapple Bar

Premium chocolatier Lindt USA's latest addition, Excellence Pineapple, represents the first chocolate bar designed to pair with Chardonnay. 

Teaming up with J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines, Lindt Master Chocolatiers designed the new offering to harmonize with the wine brand's Riverstone Chardonnay, intensifying the overall taste experience.

The Excellence Pineapple bar features a blend of silky dark chocolate, combined with naturally sweet pineapple and caramelized hazelnut pieces. The bar pairs with the Chardonnay's bright aromas of ripe pear, pineapple and toasted hazelnut, creating a finish of caramel and cream.

The 3.5-ounce Lindt Excellence Pineapple bar is available exclusively at Lindt Chocolate Shops and www.Lindt.com. The bar will be available in retail locations nationwide in early 2015.
