Moreson Premium Chardonnay 2008

2009 Chardonnay du Monde Awards - Gold Medal
This lively wine shows green and gold hues. Packed with classic Chardonnay fruit this wine entices the senses with tones of chestnuts, vanilla and underlying citrus. A lengthy barrel maturation on gross lees has allowed for maximum oak and fruit integration and provided a firm palate that gives backbone to concentrated fruit and the richness of the wine. This wine will develop in bottle, leading to new nuances and continual drinking pleasure for years to come.

Spicy foods and curries complement this wine well.
