Simonsig Chardonnay 2000

Bright medium straw colour. The nose shows sweet ripe apple and pear fruit aromas with roasted almond, toasty oak flavours to round off the inviting bouquet. Deliciously ripe on the palate with beautifully integrated oak giving this classic Chardonnay a long silky texture on the aftertaste.
Enjoy this wine with full flavoured white meats, fish and ripe cheeses.
