Oldenburg Vineyards Chardonnay 2011

Name: Oldenburg Vineyards Chardonnay 2011
Brand: Oldenburg Vineyards
SKU: 29798

The Chardonnay 2011 has a wonderful light honey colour. The wine displays a crisp palate laced with delightful Granny Smith apple and zesty lemon notes. A suggestion of toasted wood aromas intertwined with a refreshing minerality that sooths the palate and transforms in to a lingering sensation filled with elegance.
