"DATE: 12-31-07 Appearance: Light straw.
Nose: Apple, mango, honey, light spicy oak and buttery notes.
Palate: Dry with good acidity, midweight plus. Nice fruit on the attack, palate follows but exceeds the nose, with elegant chard flavours midpalate, soft and big mouthfeel, nice light tannins and a pleasant mineral tang on the long clean dry finish.
Conclusions: Very much the same type as the preceeding vintage of this wine, another good example of the midrange of chardonnay (neither unoaked nor heavily oaked), this is an elegant style which could age well for up to eight years, getting heftier and funkier as it ages. This has a sweetness that is nothing to do with sugar, but comes from ripe fruit and good extract." lfw
FROM THE PRODUCERS:"Our first estate chardonnay is truly elegant - clean and very lightly oaked with subtle yellow fruits on the palate. A great aperitif, with summer salads or delicate seafood."
