Fort Simon Chardonnay 2002

Veritas 2003 - Silver
Fairbairn Capital Trophy Wine Show 2003 - Silver
Michelangelo International Wine Awards 2003 - Gold
A flat full bodied Chardonnay filled with lots of citrus, dried fruit and butterscotch flavours. The wood nuances are well intergrated with the fruit and contributes well for further development.

This wine will be at its peak between 12 â€“ 14Â°C and will compliment rich dishes like malays to dessert, very well.
