Paul Wallace
Paul and Nicky Wallace purchased their 25-hectare farm in September 2003 and immediately set out to create their own little piece of heaven. Paul is a viticultural consultant and here at last he could practise what he has advised and encouraged other farmers to do in their vineyards. It has long been Paul's belief that the cool-climate region of Elgin, previously best known for its apples and pears, is one of the most exciting developing wine regions within the South African wine industry and indeed internationally.
Description
The Reflection Chardonnay leads with prominent notes of lemon and lime when young, evolving into passion fruit, brioche and with a refined minerality and length. A fruit-forward entry onto the palate where citrus notes and a delicate oaky sweetness combine with the underlying minerality to produce a wine with good breadth, length and mouthfeel.
Food Pairing
A rewarding wine that will compliment most seafood dishes, fresh oysters, poultry or even a heavenly piece of gorgonzola cheese. Best served slightly chilled.
