Top Notes For
Robertson, Breede River Valley, Western Cape, South AfricaThe wine is not oaky like a normal Chardonnay. But I could taste hints of oak, which is because 25% of the wine is oak barreled for a short time. Light birdied with aromas of vanilla lemon and lime. High acid. Crisp.

Surprising minerality, peachy lemon/orange marmelade, and vanilla. Stupid cheap.

Very crisp and refreshing—especially with summer. Not buttery, and not overly citric.
