Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, medium acidity, dry
Meerlust's Chardonnay reflects the estate's restrained, classically European approach — expect white peach and citrus alongside gentle toasty oak and a nutty quality from careful barrel work. The wine is well-balanced rather than showy, with enough acidity to keep it fresh and food-friendly. It's a composed, cool-influenced Stellenbosch Chardonnay that rewards the table more than the spotlight.
Serving: Serve at 9–11 °C.
