The 2013 Fleur du Cap Chardonnay has a light straw yellow colour with tints of green and gold. On the nose it shows melon and lime with some lovely stewed fruit aromas finishing off with a hint of oak spices. On the palate it is a mediumbodied wine with a good array of fruit, good balance of sweetness and acidity and a long, pleasant finish. Pairs well with rich fish dishes, especially shellfish. Geelbek, cob, galjoen, mussels and oysters work wonders. Try it with cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano, Mild Cheddar and Gruyere), curries with cream sauces and rich chicken dishes.
