Rietvallei Chardonnay 2006

Name: Rietvallei Chardonnay 2006
Brand: Rietvallei
SKU: 13847

This is a lightly oaked Chardonnay. 50% of this Chardonnay is wood fermented and the rest made in a totally unwooded style. Blending afterwards of these two components leaves a very elegant, fruity Chardonnay. On the nose the wine has appealing roasted citrus aromas with vibrant and prominent lime flavours. On the palate it is well balanced with rich citrus flavours and subtle oak and toasty notes. The wine is complimented by a long-lasting aftertaste.

It is most enjoyable with fish and poultry dishes.
