5 | Wine | Chardonnay, South Africa

"Light pale yellow with slight lime green hue. Intense aroma with a complex bouquet of lime-tree blossom gooseberry, peach and citrus. Soft and generous, mouth filling flavors of stonefruits and citrus. Clean, fresh finish and well integrated oak in the end."

"The delightful 2010 Chardonnay has a light floral bouquet with white flower, apricot and a touch of lemon curd all with fine delineation. The palate is simple but well crafted with good acidity and crisp, vanilla tinged fruit towards the finely tuned honeysuckle finish."

"Dances on the tongue with delicious reward from its luscious fruit expression. There is a distinct mineral quality which is symptomatic of the dry land conditions under which the grapes are produced. Refreshingly crisp, medium bodied but very “showy” with hints of litchi, white peach and kiwi fruit!"

"The nose is beautifully defined with scents of melon, honeysuckle and white peach with just a hint of creme patissiere. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry with subtle almond and hazelnut. It has wonderfully integrated vanilla-tinged oak and a tense, mineral-rich finish that is Corton-Charlemagne in all but name and price. This is one of South Africa’s benchmark Chardonnays."
