ready-improve2016 Mullineux & Leeu Estates Passant Stellenbosch Chardonnay, Stellenbosch

This Chardonnay has oak notes, fresh passion fruit, lime and flint on the nose. The textured palate is packed with citrus zest and crushed shells and has long finish. Best served at 10-12°C, this wine will show optimally when decanted within the first 3 years after bottling and will reward if cellared properly over 5-7 years.
