Tasting profile

Structure: full-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry

A serious, estate-grown Stellenbosch Chardonnay from vineyards shaded by Klapmuts Hill through a long, moderate ripening season — citrus and stone fruit are lifted by bright acidity and a fine mineral edge, with a measure of French oak adding texture without weight. Built to reward a few years in bottle as fruit and oak knit together.

Serving: Serve at 10–12 °C.
