Eikendal Chardonnay 2008 (Wooded)

The Eikendal Chardonnay a serious and elegantly crafted wine.
On the nose it has subtle oak aromas, and prominent lemon,
peach flavours, with lovely crisp mineral notes. The fruit flavours
follow through on to the palate, with a rich and generous citrus
finish. The Chardonnay has a great mouth feel, and long, lingering
aftertaste. The fine complexity added by oak maturation has
created a wine of distinction.

Enjoy with lightly grilled salmon,roast fowl, or just on its own.
