Mulderbosch Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 2008
This lively wine shows green and gold hues. Packed with classic Chardonnay fruit, the wine entices the senses with tones of vanilla, English country garden herbs, buttered toast, rolled oats, peach pip, chestnut and tangerine. The long lees contact ensured a robust, round and sensual palate that lingers on the aftertaste.

Packed with classic Chardonnay fruit, the wine entices the senses with tones of vanilla, English country garden herbs, buttered toast, rolled oats, peach pip, chestnut and tangerine. 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. The bold & the busty; 07 brimming with sweet peach & apricot, luscious oak vanilla & broad sweetness (6.35g/l RS). 100% cask fermented/9 mths, 76% new. Buxomness boosted by full malo. (Platter 2009) One of the few chardonnays to achieve perfect symmetry between fruit and oak. The palate is rich and voluptuous with a velvety mouthfeel. The perfect complement to a great meal.
