De Wetshof Chardonnay D'Honneur 2000

Western Cape, South AfricaD'Honnuer gets 100 per cent new French barrels for 13 months and it goes through the full malolactic fermentation. This is old fashion chardonnay with a lot of oak and in fact a lot of everything. The fruit is grown on deep gravel soils on the mountain. Slightly underripe style with leafy tomato minty nose with a hard woody edge. Very old style.Tasted: 01 September 2001Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
