Oldenburg Vineyards Chardonnay 2014

Name: Oldenburg Vineyards Chardonnay 2014
Brand: Oldenburg Vineyards
SKU: 39466

The Chardonnay has a straw yellow colour with flashes of green. Aromas of sandalwood and cassia backed by citrus and pears come to the fore. The wood influence shows as vanilla which follows on to the palate and becomes honey and nuts. The fresh acidity and round mouth feel leads to a lingering, succulent aftertaste.
