Stellenbosch Chardonnay

A little shy on the nose, a little thin on the palate. Not memorable, but hits a lot of Chardonnay’s pleasant notes.

Citrus, pears and white flowers. Enough oak and malo to give it a creaminess with a porridge like mouthfeel, yet still retain a fresh crispness. Unexpectedly good.

Baked pear with savory spices. Lacking the weird swampy vegetal note in most SA chards. Almost a buttery character.

Light toffee notes with a bitter green quality on the finish.

From dad from zachys. Supposed to be a cheap almost as good as the Montrachet but it's much heavier. Less mineral / acidity

Good lunchtime match with local fish

A pale lemony wine with a medium nose of butter, oak and pear and melon.

The wine is dry, medium high acid, medium alcohol, full bodied with medium fruit intensity but the oak and butter notes overpower the fruit for me. Long finish of fresh pear and lees influence.

It’s a very good wine. Just not the style that I enjoy.

TSWC. Very enjoyable Chardonnay. Good flavours without being overpowering. Very much enjoyed.

Pale lemon, the 2020 Meerlust Chardonnay bursts from the glass with smoke, wood spice, honeysuckle, lemon peel, ripe peach, apricot and a touch of vanilla. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is bone dry, with excellent flavor concentration, a lively mouthfeel and a long, mouth-watering finish. Drink now until 2028

Nice Stellenbosch choice with Vasilis, Anna and Ada @Dubai
