Savanha Chardonnay 2004

John Platter 2006 - 3 Stars
The wine is pale yellow-gold in colour with subtle aromas of pear and lime and a lovely whiff of vanilla. On the palate, butterscotch and honey flavours combine with delightful ripe tropical fruit. A finely structured, intensely flavourful and complex wine.

Serve with seafood and chicken dishes.
