Mulderbosch Chardonnay Barrel Fermented 2009

Name: Mulderbosch Chardonnay Barrel Fermented 2009
Brand: Mulderbosch
SKU: 32039

A triad of tangerine, oatmeal and jasmine on the nose. Elements of ripe, fragrant peach follow through on to the palate layered with orange blossom and a delicate contrast of savoury seashell-minerality. A prominent acidity ensures a vibrancy and freshness which is perfectly balanced by a mouth-filling texture.

Perfect with thai food; grilled crayfish with lemon and garlic butter; or duck liver pate; veal or pork fillet in a creamy sauce; fresh grilled tuna; Karoo lamb; prosciutto ham or as a meal on its own!
