Chardonnay Pinot Noir

2005 Franschhoek Chardonnay, Pinot Noir

The Haute Cabrière Chardonnay Pinot Noir from the illustrious 2005 vintage showcases the exceptional qualities of the Franschhoek region in South Africa. With a striking red color, this wine beautifully marries the elegance of Chardonnay and the bold character of Pinot Noir. The body is wonderfully full, providing a rich and rounded mouthfeel that embraces the palate. It exhibits a bright acidity, lending a refreshing quality that balances its fruit-forward profile.
