Savanha Winemakers Selection Chardonnay 2009

Layers of ripe tropical fruit, whiffs of vanilla and hints of butterscotch appear on the nose. Lush fruit flavours show on the palate with an attractive citrus undertone. A creamy, smooth, well-balanced wine with a sof acidity.

Serve with a creamy seafoon sauce.
