Uva Mira The Mira Chardonnay 2021

R341.00

Region: Helderberg

Tasting Notes:

A compelling nose showing enticing aromas of white peach, some orange zest and a hint of marzipan. Enticing minerality, with a lovely floral fragrance and subtle spice. A wine of real poise and fruit purity with sweet, juicy lime offset by fresh, lingering acidity. Complex and balanced with an elegant creaminess and chalky texture.
