Tasting Note: A lightly-oaked chardonnay with a soft, creamy texture.

Medium-intensity lemon in color, this wine has an aromatic nose of medium-intensity oak, vanilla and clove baking spice along with some faint, green apple notes.

On the palate the dry, medium-bodied chardonnay has a creamy texture with medium flavor intensity but with a well-integrated tannin structure and some lemon citrus on the finish.

Bottle Note: An adventure into Cape wine heritage by Chris & Andrea Mullineux and Analjit Singh.
