Steenberg H.M.S. Sphynx Chardonnay 2010

Lemongrass, lime and buttered toast on the nose. The wine shows beautiful fresh lime notes on the palate, with slight creamy, buttery notes, from the brief wood contact. The wine will develop a further creaminess with bottle aging; will reward cellaring up to 5 years.
