Diemersdal Chardonnay 2008

This wine balances concentrated spicy aromas with fresh fruit flavours. The nose is elegant, with the richness of the fruit enhanced by sweet melon aromas. This harmonious integration is achieved through a combination of traditional barrel fermentation and stirring of the lees to produce a rich and complex wine.
