Spier Chardonnay 2005

International Wine & Spirit Competition 2006 - Bronze
The wine is bright straw-lemon in colour with ripe tropical notes and whiffs of honey on the nose. On the palate attractive lemon and grapefruit flavours mingle with melon and hints of toast. Smooth and creamy with soft, pleasant acidity.

Serve with barbequed fish, fresh from the coals.
