Clay Shales Overberg Chardonnay
Overberg, Cape South Coast, Western Cape, South Africa
Friend asks if winemaker buddy can join dinner. You say of course. Winemaker buddy (real name Peter-Alan Finlayson) brings his HOLY EPIC wines. I don't know if a South African chard usually tastes like Meursault and Chablis's love child, but this sure does. And I'm totally into it. Thank you friend (real name @Julia van der Vink).

Från en mycket högt belägen vingård i Hemel-en-Arde. Svalodlad karaktär. Frisk, Medelfyllig med lyxig textur och snärtig frukt. Gröna äpplen, ananas, blommor, hasselnöt och elektriskt avslut. Lagringsduglig.

The Finlayson boys know how to make a great Chardonnay. This 2013 has a great nose of stone fruit and pineapple. Drinks softly and gently - nothing disturbing in this wine. Lacks a bit of length and complexity to be at the very top but still very,very nice.

This is a great SA Chardonnay, the whole picture is there of what a wine lover can aspect from Chardonnay, not a heavyweight build wine bin elegance and finesse with smooth integrated wood from the barrel
