Ashton Kelder Unwooded Chardonnay 2009

2009 Michelangelo International Wine Awards - Silver medal
A medium-bodied wine with stunning orange peel and sweet soft fruit characters. The palate with butter and creamy tones complements the bouquet, and enriches the typical Chardonnay characters to make this a stunningly good wine.

A good complement to sushi, fish, pasta or chicken dishes, with textures and flavours that will offset the subtlety and austerity of flavour, characteristic of Chardonnay.
