Drostdy Hof Chardonnay 2000

The result is a light straw yellow wine with attractive green edges. On the nose is shows an abundance of tropical fruit flavours supported by vanilla oak flavours. On the palate it is medium-bodied with a good balance between the tropical fruit and the oak flavours. It is soft and enjoyable to drink with a fresh, fruity aftertaste.
