Amaranth Chardonnay 2005

The term 'Amaranth' denotes a wine which appears to be of particular interest for cellaring - it is not intended as a quality comment. The wine is bright, green-gold with a powerful nose showing both delicate florals and firm grapefruit aromas followed by lemon pith and hints of apricot kernals. The palate is structured, has well supported acid, a mid-palaterichness and old fashioned drinkabiity. Grapefruit and lemon pith flavours are dominant along with a medley of stonefruit, crushed nuts and a minerality which seems to be the hallmark of our Chardonnays.
