Stellenbosch, Coastal Region, Western Cape, South Africa
The nose is soft, delicate and a little muted. Green apple, lemon, lime, pineapple, green melon, honeysuckle, fruit blossoms, understated and delicate volcanic minerals & powdery chalkiness with jasmine, spring flowers and yellow lilies.
The body is medium full. The palate starts with ripe/fresh fruits and then evolves from a fruit driven start into heavily pronounced minerality and powdery chalkiness. Green apple, lemon, lime, pineapple, green melon, honeysuckle, fruit blossoms, herbaceous notes, touch of cut grass, understated and delicate volcanic minerals & powdery chalkiness with jasmine, spring flowers and yellow lilies. The acidity is really nice. The finish is well balanced, soft and nothing overdone.
Photos of; the view from their Cellar Door, Sofia waiting to taste on their patio, the entrance to DeMorgenzon and their tasting bar.

Notes of vanilla and a touch of tropical fruit. Not as much oak and butter that I usually like in a Chardonnay, but still very nice. Great with a charcuterie platter.
