McGregor Chardonnay 2006

The wine had a bright yellow/green colour as can be expected from a full-bodied complex wine of this nature. The complex flavours of ripe fruit & pineapple with a characteristic hint of citrus, contribute to the fullness and freshness of this prominent wine.

A wonderful companion for roast lamb and vegetables as well as fish and chicken dishes.
