Smells like prototypical Chardonnay with some hints of lemon, minerality, and wet stones. Medium body, feels like lees contact but the alcohol is pretty high. Green apple and lemon acidity. Really pretty.

This is one of the best Chardonnays that I have tasted from South Africa, let alone under $20 /bottle. Stone fruit flavors (nectarine, white peach) play artfully with broth acidity and a touch of limestone.
