MORE INFORMATION:
Rietvallei JMB Chardonnay is a full-bodied, complex wine with excellent fruit and wood-integration. Lots of work in the vineyard and minimal interference in the cellar allows this wine to express its terroir to the fullest. A complex nose, rich in citrus aromas and complemented by some spicy, toasted oak notes. The palate is rich and creamy, with a mixture of ripe orange, lemon, and lime flavours. The oak is well-integrated and only evident on the background, together with a firm acidity that makes for a lingering finish.
Pair with roast chicken, grilled duck or any creamy poultry or fish dishes.
