We had this with Oxtail dinner at Rattray’s in Mala Mala last night.
Not my usual detailed notes. This is ripe & lush like the Nederburg but with more complexity.
The palate showed ripe and slightly candied fruits of; dark currants, blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries and a hint of blue fruits. Nice softly layered baking spices, dark chocolate, mocha, rich, dark soils, some dry top, well done granitic minerals and fresh red and dark florals. The acidity round & beautiful. The finish, ripe, lush, well balanced & polished. Good QPR here.
Photos of, today’s Mala Mala sunrise, baby calf elephant along with the nearly 40 in the herd and a total of over 100 Elephants seen today, playful male dominance of the Giraffe’s intertwining and smacking necks/mid section and the grand prize, male spotted Leopard. An amazing finish to our last day. — 5 years ago

Vinarija Chichateau, belo, Fabula mala a bela, chardonnay, 2019. Svetla, slamno-zlatna boja, na prvi miris blago cvetna aroma zatim jače limeta., kruška. Suvo vino sa blagim prijatnim kiselinama, umerene jačine, lep balans, lagano ka srednjem telu, voćni aftertaste u skladu sa primarnim aromama. Odličan chardonnay. — 3 years ago
