Brampton Chardonnay 2001

Currently Sold Out - Next vintage to be released Sept 2002
Typical vanilla, pineapple and orange-peel flavours complement butterscotch, roasted almond and ginger on the palate. Ripe fruit, partially barrel fermented and matured on the lees for 4 months, provides complexity. Savour on its own, or enjoy with poultry, salmon trout, or fish in light, creamy sauces.
