Spier Wine Estate’s Seaward Chardonnay is making waves.
The lightly-wooded wine has aromas of ruby grapefruit, mango and citrus with undertones of raw almond and a creamy palate of fresh citrus and nectarine notes with vanilla on the finish. As with all good white wines, pair it with white meats, seafood and creamy pasta dishes just like this one:
