Footprint The Long Walk Western Cape Chardonnay 2012 78 Points
Pale bright, yellow green reflections.
Clean, moderate plus intensity, possibly unoaked (though the back label description leads the other way!) or if oaked will probably be neutral old oak barrel, stone fruit, citrus, white flowers, quite Chablis like.
Dry, delicate, fresh with low plus acidity, somewhat atypical for Chardonnay's, lacks precision not aided by high alcohol of 14% abv, drink now.
