The Amani Chardonnay 2007 reflex a savoury first impression that opens up to an inviting fresh floral expression, combined with ripe mango flavours and a caramel appeal while still showing a lime freshness.

The palate elegance suggests a well managed wood influence while still respecting the fruit component.
