Lemon-green color. Aromas of pear, green apple, vanilla, toast and some herbal/grassy notes (like a Sauv Blanc). On the palate, more citrus (grapefruit) and pineapple. Full bodied, high acidity. Crisp, refreshing. Fairly long tart finish. Very nice drink.

Always interested in trying something different. This South African chardonnay is quite nice, almost Chablis like in its freshness and nice acidity. There's a good bit of lemon chiffon upfront but also some stone fruit in the background. Nice clean finish and overall well balanced.

La note tient compte du prix Apparence jaune doré, reflets verts. Quelques larmes épaisses en paroi. Très Aromatique, floral (malva), minéral et fruité (melon jaune) également des notes lactées prononcés, beurre, feuilletés . En bouche, l'attaque est gourmande, feuilleté de pomme, l'acidité apporte une belle sapidité, l'élevage est très bien contrôlé, le coté beurré peut provenir d'une fermentation malolactique bien complétée et peut-être de notes boisées mais le résultat est heureusement subtil et très loin des saveurs surboisées. Ce vin à 15$ représente une des meilleures valeurs Plaisir-Prix .

Once again everyone loves the DMZ Its tight, has good minerality with a little bit of bitterness and a clean citrus finish. Mild acidity, with a medium finish.
Amazing QPR. Everyone thinks its French and tastes much more than the actual price.
Our white summer sipper (great BBQ wine + mass consumption wine)

The nose was nutty with tart tropical fruit, and green floral leafy notes. On the palate, it was rich yet clean with ripe white fruits and citrus, which lasted through the close.
