KWV Classic Chardonnay 2009

Fresh and inviting citrus, tropical and butterscotch flavours dominate. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with hints of paw-paw, toasty characters and lemon. The wine is soft and creamy with a long after-taste.

Enjoy on its own or with light white meat or creamy pasta dishes.

ageing : Enjoy immediately, but it will keep for 1 year from vintage.
in the vineyard : Cool temperate conditions during the growing season resulted in small, concentrated berries. Veraison was even, therefore ensuring ripening of grapes. The period was characterised by low disease incidence. During harvest, the cooler than average summer temperatures resulted in an excellent balance between sugar and acid. Lower yields deliver a well balanced wine that offers intense fruit flavours.
