Chardonnay

2008 Tasting Notes

Cape Grace Wines are a true expressions of the vintage. For the loyal followers of the Cape Grace Chardonnay, the 2008 is another excellent vintage.

Barrel fermentation with lees stirring in new and old French oak. The 2008 Chardonnay is an elegant lean style wine. It has a lovely mouth feel and lingers on, promising to be a delight drunk on its own for those who love Chardonnay anytime, or matched to your favourite meal. Drink now or cellar up to 5 years.

"Bright yellow-green; has the layered depth of good Margaret River chardonnay; nectarine and white peach are set in a nutty / toasty embrace.” James Halliday

“Mealy, grapefruit and lemony scents merge over deeper stone fruit aromatics. The palate is deep and intense with a ripe stone fruit creaminess working with that lightly toasted oak and subtle lees influence. The palate is long and full bodies.” Ray Jordan
