Wijnrecensies
One of the greatest Chardonnays ever produced in South Africa, this is a world-class wine that combines components from the Klein Karoo, Overberg, Robertson and Stellenbosch. Fermented in 35% new barrels, it's a chiselled, intense, fynbos and aniseed scented white with layers of kelp, vanilla spice, oyster shell, struck match and waxed lemon. Long, nuanced and very complex. 2025-32

Blend of Fijnbosch, Barrydale (Klein Karoo), Robertson and Kaaimansgat fruit. Similar oaking regime with 32-33% new oak and multiple passage barrels. The aromatics show a fabulous lemon blossom and herby, savoury depth with green melon, lemon pastille and a beautifully integrated delicate oak spice that’s almost an afterthought. The texture is world class, polished, sleek, refined and incredibly crystalline and pure. A beautiful expression from a top-class producer.
