Description
Award: Miele Trophy for Best Chardonnay and Old Mutual Trophy for Best White Wine Overall Pale lemon colour that is clear, clear and bright. Subtle and elegant with a steely core, its aroma portrays freshness and perfume to the concentrated flavours of coconut, ginger, marmalade, and spun sugar. Careful oaking and extended lees contact have added texture and richness to this youthful and developing wine.
Food Pairing
The Op die Berg Chardonnay is exceptionally well-suited to creamy pastas and grapefruit salads. The freshness of the wine also makes it ideal for mild, aromatic curries.
