"It's true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place "
- Abigail Van Buren
'RESERVE' Chardonnay 2007
| Nose: |
This wine displays green and golden hues associated with its 8 months spent on lees. First impressions are of Melon, Grapefruit and Nectarine supported by the sweet perfume of vanilla derived from lees contact with high quality French oak.
|
| Palate: |
A soft and flavour-some style that shows the complex nuances of barrel fermentation,
lees stirring (battonage) and barrel maturation. Extremely supple and well balanced.
|
| Finish: |
The fresh fruit and oak has the complexity to enhance and elongate the palate.
A fully flavoured and long palate ensures your enjoyment of this wine.
|
| Food: |
Will suit most foods which are not overly spicy or creamy.
|
| Cellaring: |
10 years
