De Wetshof Lesca Chardonnay 2001

Robertson, Breede River Valley, South AfricaLesca comes of gravel soils at the estate. It's a wine named after Dani de Wetshof's wife. It's 100 per cent barrel fermented but does not go through malolactic. It often has a strong flinty style because of limestone soils. Lemon and lees and ripe canned pear all finish up in quite tropical style.Tasted: 01 September 2002Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
