Haute Cabrière Chardonnay Pinot Noir 2005

The Haute Cabriere Chardonnay/Pinot Noir is a blend of 51% Chardonnay and 49% Pinot Noir from grapes grown in Franschhoek, a much-demarcated valley. Subtly, the vintage is slightly more fruit driven with intense flavours, but not defeating the elegant style of its reputation. A rich elegance accurately sums up the characteristics. The 2005 vintage gives a very versatile scope to complement a variety of food flavours. The dry firm finish confirms the continuity of style. The vintage 2005 generally produced an outstanding white wine, which runs right through the Pierre Jourdan range.
