Cape Point Vineyards Chardonnay 2007

The wine shows a complex array of citrus and apricot flavours with strong minerality and some subtle toasty notes. This all follows onto a wonderfully full palate with crisp acids and great length.
This Chardonnay is drinking beautifully at present, but try to exercise patience as it will only improve over the next 2-5 years.
