La Motte Reserve Collection Chardonnay 2024

Light straw in colour. Intense, bright aromas of citrus blossom with mandarin and winter melon fruit. A hint of French nougat and pistachio add complexity to the nose. The palate is silky and juicy and lingers with a fresh finish reminiscent of lemon meringue tart.

Excellent with luxurious seafood such as caviar, crayfish (Cape rock lobster), abalone, prawns and mussels. Also enjoy with creamy cheeses, snails and pâté.
