Windmeul Reserve Chardonnay 2011

The 2011 Chardonnay is rich and smooth with a golden colour. This full bodied wine has aromas of pineapple, pear and honey. The buttery richness are well integrated with the wood aromas.

The Chardonnay is ideally served with salads, fish and chicken. The fullness of the wine can be balanced with seafood dishes, even paired with curries.
