Oldenburg Vineyards Chardonnay 2012

Name: Oldenburg Vineyards Chardonnay 2012
Brand: Oldenburg Vineyards
SKU: 33572

This Chardonnay has an intense golden colour, complemented by whiffs of vanilla and almonds. Aromas of ripe orange citrus, yellow apple and crème brûlée further add to the complexity on the nose. The entry on the palate is smooth and supple with a well rounded mouthfeel. Flavours of bruised apple, ripe pineapple and oak spice linger on the finish. The wine is well balanced with a streak of elegance.
