Though unoaked, it is lees aged and boy does it deliver. Nose is straight pineapple upside down cake, rich with fruit, pie crust and clarified butter. There are quaffs of citrus and cold slate rounding it out quite nicely. Palate is big, round and supple. Juicy pineapple, lemon jelly, rendered duck fat and salty macadamia nuts. Not my typical go-to type of wine, but you gotta give the juice it's credit! Fun wine with a lot to show.

Racy and austere. Lemon, green apple and herbal tea. Slightly pithy up front, rounding a bit on the finish with some fine lees quality. 100% stainless steel. Great value.

Creamy pineapple, lime blossom & yellow apple in the nose-fresh citrus, lemon curd & baked yellow pomme on the palate. One of the best SA Chards on the market. #certifiablydelish

Clay soil. Bolder, heavier, rich wine. Yellow fruits, pineapple. Life from stone.

2013 showing beautifully. Juicy acidity with tropical notes. Don't think South Africa, think really good Chardonnay. Look for it.
