Chardonnay

typical average chardonnay a bit eatery after taste. good value for money drinking wine

This Chardonnay - from a winery we visited on our way out of Franshhoek, but didn't taste there - seems unoaked (the label doesn't say), so the grapefruit hits front and center. Good with pizza, though we're having penne puttanesca and mussels at Mario's near Cape Town's waterfront.

Went well with salmon and a potato olive salad. Definitely a food wine. A bit harshness up front but as it opens up in the glass it is fine.
