Lourensford The Dome Chardonnay
Cellar: | Boschendal Wines |
Description: | The Lourensford The Dome Chardonnay is a white wine that offers ripe pineapple, melon, and orange blossom flavors that dominate on the nose, supported by hints of lemon cream, grapefruit, and dried apricots. Flavors of white peach, cashew nuts, and caramel linger on the palate. The wine has a brilliant linear acidity and a dominant dense core with layered sweetness due to the natural fermentation. The roundness on the palate and a beautifully integrated texture supported by a creamy finish coats your mouth and make you want to spend more time in the presence of this big wine. |
