Kloovenburg Chardonnay 2002

Michelangelo International Wine Awards 2003 - Silver
Lively yellow-green appearance. The nose exudes fresh fruit aromas of ripe pear, nectarine, apple and spice. Classy structured palate a good reflection of what the nose promised. Layers of flavour come together with a tapered acid lift to finish. Lightly oaked, the wine should gain further complexity with time in the bottle.
