Oldenburg 2017 is a classic, buttery Chardonnay from the Stellenbosch wine region. Full-bodied, smooth and buttery on the palate with ripe red apple, smoky nut and apple pie spice flavours on the palate. Just a yummy Chardonnay with good acidity for food. Enjoy for the next three to five years. Pair with lobster bisque.

Chardonnay food pairings: grilled fish, spinach and pepper jack stuffed chicken, beef bourguignon, toasted ravioli with Alfredo sauce, Asian dishes with black bean sauces.

Love this butterscotchy Chardonnay from the Stellenbosch Wine Region. Oldenburg 2017 is peachy and soft orange citrus on the nose. Lovely full-bodied Chardonnay with ripe peach, clementine, nutty, buttery flavours on the palate. Great acidity for food. Well-balanced, finishing long with buttered toffee flavours. Enjoy now and for the next five years. Pair with roast chicken. - Community Wine Reviews
