The Artisan Collection Stargazer Chardonnay 2023

R210,00

Grapes hand-selected during night harvest have produced this full wine of distinctive character.  Dried fruit with tones of citrus interwoven with creamy toasted butterscotch. This rich full wine will go with chicken and veal dishes and creamy sauces.  This vintage displays intense citrus and granny smith tone and a rich lees character.  The 40-year-old vines create a fruity taste that really stands out.
