Product information "Groot Constantia Chardonnay 2017"
The Groot Constantia Chardonnay embodies wine craftsmanship on a very high level! Of a light straw colour with fresh green complexes in the glass, this delicious drop exudes wonderfully classic Chardonnay aromas of fresh lemons and ripe tangerines, paired with the fine scent of vanilla and butter caramel. With a delightful generosity on the palate, this Chardonnay pampers with lush creaminess and notes of buttery caramel, citrus and toasted almonds, while its lively acidity provides freshness and clarity.
