Rhebokskloof Sandstone Grove Reserve Chardonnay 2012

From its pale gold colour to the peach, lemon-peel and buttered toast character, this wine is designed to please. Matured in French oak barrels, yet harmoniously integrated, it is full bodied, with enough lingering freshness to accompany different food dishes.
