Interesting refreshing Chardonnay, less of the typical - sometimes overwhelming - tropical fruits. But more white fruit (melon), a bit more acidity and a subtle hint of oak. Easy to drink but also interesting for those who appreciate more complexity. — 7 years ago

If you want to drink something sweet that nearly doesn't taste like alcohol, this one is for you. The fizz also adds a dimension that got me. Can easily be a staple! — 8 years ago

Excellent acidity. The finish is rush, smartly balanced, elegant and persistent. — 5 years ago

This South African is an almost perfect World Class Chardonnay. WS rated it no. 57 of the 2018 Top 100. They say it’s “ Melon, yellow apple, white peach and quince flavors give this (wine) an opulent feel. I agree with the WS review and add Intoxicating fruit aromas, clean crisp mouth feel with a refined finish. If you enjoy Chardonnay this one is a standout. Cheers 🍷 — 5 years ago

Pale yellow color. Initially opens with wet wool aromas that give way to white peach, apple, Meyer lemon and a bit of wet stone aromas. On the palate its medium-bodied, and dry with wonderful acidity and texture with green apple, white peach, baked apricot, and citrus flavors. Lingering satisfying finish with a bit of minerality. 12.8% alcohol. Wonderful at the table! — 10 years ago
