Overgaauw Chardonnay 2005

Full-flavoured, with attractive interleavings of melon, peach and citrus peel. The French barrique fermentation and long lees contact add a melba-toast richness and creamy texture to the mouth-feel. Well constructed, dry and with crisp acidity, it is a perfect food partner, with the potential to age another 2 years.
