Mont Rochelle Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 2007

Intense golden lime colour, sets precedence for clean citrus, and bruised apple and pear aromas, neatly held together by butterscotch and mineral undertones. The palate conjures up thoughts of intensive citrus and stone fruits, whilst also portraying clean acidity and minerality.
