Tasting Notes:
The Cap Maritime Chardonnay is an absolute joy! It is beautifully mineral with that lovely wet stones, sensation as it runs over the tongue. The the stone fruit and citrus comes in with clarity. The wines finsishes with floral notes and a hint of French oak. Every mouthful is layered with complex fruit, floral notes and marvellous texure. This wine is drinking wonderfully, but would also last in your cellar, if you can bare to leave it, for 3 years or so.

Bouquet:
Inviting array of intense citrus and gentle white fruit notes with an underlying clove, nutmeg and ginger from gentle oak.
