Morgenhof Estate Chardonnay 2005

On the nose one finds predominantly dried apricot and peach flavours with a hint of honey. These flavours follow through on the palate with a lovely crispness ending in a creamy finish.

This wine should be enjoyed with rich chicken dishes, calamari (spicy or fried), fried fish, cray-fish dishes or on the coals, fillet and creamy soups. This will also be good combination with salads and other lighter meals.
