Avontuur Luna de Miel Chardonnay Reserve 2014


Colour: Pale, golden straw.
Aroma: Immediate whiffs of orange marmalade and lime jelly with a tang of fresh ginger.
Flavour: Full-bodied with a lingering aftertaste. Ripe citrus, white peach and an interesting minerality followed by a smooth finish. Well balanced. A good food wine.

Mildly spiced eastern cuisine, rich white meat dishes like Butter Chicken.
