Meerlust Estate Chardonnay 2009

Stellenbosch, South Africa

Very bright, polished platinum with green, vivacious hue. Complex, appealing nose with quince, citrus and floral notes developing into lemon cream, oatmeal and marzipan richness. This wine is full bodied and generous, balanced by crisp acidity. Note of ripe tropical fruit and creaminess balanced by a pure minerality. The wine has a long, very pleasant lingering finish indicating the richness and persistence of the vintage.
