Dombeya Chardonnay 2005

Currently the only white wine produced at Haskell Vineyards. The wine has straw like yellow colour with a vibrant green tinge. The nose shows complex aroma’s of fresh peaches, orange blossoms, honey and butter. The palate is crisp and youthful with lingering flavours of butterscotch and white stone fruit.

It would be complimenting dishes like roast chicken, mild curries, creamy soups, barbecue, grilled or pan-fried fish, etc.
