Nederburg Chardonnay Reserve 2000

This wine has a rich golden colour and the appearance of a full wine. The nose is not at all floral or tropical, but buttery and minerally, with a nutty vanilla and butterscotch character. The very full palate has a long aftertaste. Because it is dry, it gives an impression of sweetness on the palate, coming from very ripe fruit. An excellent food wine, it goes well with soup, creamy sauces, mild spicy dishes.
