Paul Cluver 2012 Chardonnay (Elgin)

Country: South Africa /
Variety: Chardonnay Elgin
Winery: Paul Cluver /

Initial scents of cedar, wood-grilled apple, popcorn and orange creamsicle are intensely decadent, promising a lush and textural wine. Those notes carry through to the opulent palate, with supporting accents of orange zest, toasted brioche and hazelnut that unfold on the medium-length finish. Drink now–2016.
