Crystallum
Clay Shales Hemel en Aarde Ridge Chardonnay
Western Cape, South Africa
Crystallum, a premium brand by the Finlayssons. The clay shales chard from Hemel-en-Aarde is a great example of exactly what we want to see from South Africa. An athletic but well defined Chardonnay with plenty of finesse. Great quality fruit and smart winemaking in terms of oak and MLF is bringing an intense, layered and complex wine. An Intense and fresh palate with a long finish. Did you say Burgundy? If so I am all ears

Delicious SA chardonnay. Almost like the baby of a fatty Meursault and a more structured and mineral Burgundy white (Chablis). Oak, flint, juicy apple, lemon and a beautiful, lingering acidity.
