Family Vineyards Chardonnay 2015

Provenance

The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.

For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.

Critics Ratings

'2015 a powerhouse, not of extract & alcohol but restraint & stylish elegance' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 5*

'Family Vineyards comes from three sites, two north- and one south-facing and is the top Newton Johnson Chardonnay. Rich, honeyed and spicy, with creamy malolactic notes and orange zesty, lemony acidity. The oak is beautifully folded into the wine. Drink: 2016-20' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2016, 94/100
