Critics Ratings
'Several of South Africa's best Chardonnays come from the high altitude Elandskloof vineyard and this is not far behind them in its first vintage. Creamy, rich and aromatic, it has attractive stone fruit notes, piercing minerality and a patina of stylish oak. 2018-23.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 93/100
'It has a well-defined, attractive bouquet with very slight reduction, praline and dried honey emerging with time in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a slightly waxiness, impressive weight in the mouth with a hint of sour lemon counterbalancing the controlled richness and weight on the finish. It probably needs another year in bottle.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 90/100 (Apr 2017)
