About this Item

Isabella Chardonnay 2017
3 (1 x 3) 750ml
Muratie is one of South Africa's oldest estates, dating to 1685 in the Knorhoek Valley below the Simonsberg and in the Melck family's care, its wines named after figures from the farm's long history. Isabella is its Chardonnay. 2017 was an exceptional, dry Cape vintage without heatwaves. Tim Atkin MW scored it 90 in his South Africa Special Report 2018.

Critics Ratings

"Using both lees stirring and 35% malolactic, this is deliberately made in a creamy style, with waxy, peachy, textured fruit flavours and understated 500-litre oak." - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 90/100 (Sep 2018)
