Tier 3 - Makana Reserve Range Chardonnay 2006

A lightly oaked Chardonnay which combines zesty lemon aromas with peach and melon flavours in the mounth.

This versatile wine is delicious on its own but will compliment most food, particularly roast white meats, baked fish and lightly smoked ham or cheese.
