One of the top Chardonnays: Eikendal Chardonnay Vintage 2014

In the mood for an easy drinking, yet deliciously complex white wine? Then Eikendal’s Chardonnay is the wine for you.

Eikendal’s Chardonnay has a briliantly clear medium to pale straw colour.

This chardonnay has a forhtcoming nose, with aromas of citrus, vanilla, ripe stone fruit and a slight floral note. As mentioned earlier, this is a complex wine, without being too overwhelming.

The entry is dry, buttery and intensely flavourful. The fruitiness and vanilla flavours follow through onto the palate. The complexity and intensity promised by the nose is fulfilled on the palate, with flavours of sweet marmalade on freshly baked bread and baked peaches with creamy vanilla ice cream. This wine is pleasantly low in acididy and well balanced.

This wine receives an impressive 17.5 out of 20.
I would pair this wine with a grilled teriyaki prawn salad or flame grilled tuna with stirfried vegetables.
