Kaaimansgat Chardonnay
2007

£11.99

|
|
| "Enormously complex and gloriously mouth filling"; ripe with a firm minerality and hints of exotic fruit. Tastes good now but will mature well to reach great complexity with age! |

De Trafford
Chenin Blanc
2008
|
£14.49
|
|
|
An appealing pale yellow colour.
The nose is a little closed at first, evolving in the glass to show a honeyed botrytis character with baked apple, wet stones, damp hay and a hint of spicy oak. Needs a little air to bring out the inherent richness on the palate. Nicely structured with a balance between the botrytis richness and the racy minerality. A long clean finish. |

| A powerful expression of Chardonnay. Brimming with fruit flavour and elegance. A buttery toastiness from the oak rounds off the complex hazelnut and citrus flavours. |

|
| 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. |

| Discretely rich. Semillon clearly dominant over sauvignon in youth, hinting at citrus, waxiness – though wood also assertive. Complexity promised, lovely aromas, lingering flavours already in attendance. Will benefit from few more yrs in bottle |
