About this Item
Silene Chardonnay 2017
3 (1 x 3) 750ml
Chardonnay is the most expressive and complex of all the international noble white varieties and its potential is unmatched throughout the world, particularly in South Africa. Crafted to age gracefully and gain complexity over time, pure citrus and rich minerality drive a focused, world-class Chardonnay.

Critics Ratings
'Silene is the cheapest of the three Capensis Chardonnays, with less new oak as a result. It's also the tautest and most restrained of the trio, showing aromas and flavours that are almost Chablis like: oyster shell, citrus and green herbs with racy acidity and a mealy undertone.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2020, 91/100
