Very pale straw in colour with medium-light intensity.  Green apple, lemon and a hint of honey on the nose.  Good balance with medium body.  Lemon and fruit flavours on the palate with a medium finish.  Good value everyday chardonnay, but it has been much better in previous vintages.

Straw coloured with medium-light intensity.  Stone fruit, rose petal, lychee, gooseberry and spice aromas on the nose – classic gewürz.  Very good balance with good body.  The fruit flavours dominate the palate with a medium finish.  A great patio wine, but also versatile with food – onion tart, curries, seafood, soft white cheese.  It also went very well with homemade chicken soup.
