2012 Vasse Felix Chardonnay

Brilliant pale straw colour with watery hue. The nose opens with cashew, delicate white peach and nectarine top notes followed by some light toast and spice. Matured in 100% French oak for a duration of 9 months (26% new oak and 74% 1-2 year old oak) the wine is medium weight with an elegant mouthfeel delivering flavours of white peach intermixed with cashew followed by a trace of citrus, some toastiness and spice. Clean dry finish. Good length with long white peach, cashew, light biscuit, toast and spice aftertaste.
Drink over the next 3-4 years (2013-2017).
Alc 12.5%
