Padstal Chardonnay
Roadside Padstals or “farmstalls” offering a range of farm produce goods and crafts are popular throughout South Africa. From simple shacks to elaborate venues, you’ll drive out of your way to find your favourite.
This elegant Chardonnay has a delicate balance of fruit flavours and a light touch of oak. Golden straw in appearance, the wine has pleasing orange blossom and butterscotch aromas. On the palate the wine has fruity citrus, lime, pineapple and white peach/nectarine flavours with a hint of vanilla spice. The light touch of oaking complements the fruit without being overpowering.
Will pair nicely with textured and creamy dishes, such as creamy risottos, quiches, chicken a la king, and grilled fish dishes. This is a versatile Chardonnay: equally excellent with fire-steamed lobster on the beach or with line fish served by white gloved waiters at the Ritz. Serve chilled.
