Fairbairn Capital Trophy Wine Show 2003 - Bronze
Wine Magazine 2003 - 3½ stars
A bright, clear, lively greenish yellow colour with pale gold shards. A robust, complex nose with rich, classic Chardonnay fruit, buttered toast, citrus, vanilla and wild herbs. Velvety, buttery, luxurious mouthfeel. The palate smoothed to a voluptuous finish from the extended lees contact, resulting in a long, lingering aftertaste.
A meal in itself! Prosciutto ham, duck liver pâté; Karoo lamb; honey-glazed roast pork; fresh char-grilled tuna; grilled crayfish with lemon and garlic butter; and smoked aubergine salad.
