Tasting note
Sourced from three parts of Stellenbosch, 60% of the fruit from the estate, the 2014 Chardonnay is barrel fermented with 12 months in oak and it goes through full malolactic. It has a very well defined bouquet that is minerally and tense with lime flower and a touch of smoked almond. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of passion fruit on the entry with well judged acidity, and it gently rolls out on the peachy finish. You couldn't really ask for more at this price. Drink: 2015-2025. Score - 91. (Neal Martin, robertparker.com, Nov. 2015)
This dry, full-bodied and woody white displays a complex and intense nose. On the palate, its refreshing acidity and full-bodied texture precede a medium finish.
