Paul Cluver 2015 Cape Winemakers Guild The Wagon Trail Chardonnay (Elgin)

Country: South Africa / Cape Winemakers Guild The Wagon Trail
Variety: Chardonnay Elgin
Winery: Paul Cluver /

Winemaker: Andries Burger. Aromas of honeyed apple, Bartlett pear, buttered toast and popcorn all waft aggressively from the glass. The palate is similarly intense, with a full body and lush flavors of ripe peach, honeydew and sweet spice that carry through to the long finish. The midpalate is a bit flat, but ample acidity keeps the finish shining bright. Drink now–2020.
