SOLD OUT

Diemersdal Chardonnay Reserve 2014 SOLD OUT

The Reserve Chardonnay has a complex character with a pale straw colour. On the nose, notes of barrel fermentation, vanilla and crème caramel come forward, integrating gently with aromas of tropical exotic fruit. The mouth feel is rich and buttery, ending in a wine with beautiful extraction of fruit and elegant acidity that brightens the palate.

Cream-based dishes, crayfish and lemon butter prawns.
