Meerlust Chardonnay (South Africa)

This Chardonnay from Stellenbosch South Africa has a very bright pale-yellow color with green vivacious hue. Complex appealing nose of apricot peach pear lemon zest and floral notes with hints of toasted almonds. On the palate the wine is well structured and linear but retains generous focused stone fruit flavors with sleek balanced and crisp acidity. The wine remains vivacious and fresh on the finish with clean citrus fruit underpinned by minerality. The wine has a long very pleasant lingering finish.
