Constantia, Coastal Region, Western Cape, South AfricaNot in love. Buttery to a point that became unpleasant. Not a bad wine, just not for me.

Butterscotch, vanilla and heavily wooded. Very much against the grain, excuse the pun, in South Africa as the general wine drinker prefers a more unwooded chardonnay.

Jan 9th, 2016Delicious; soft creamy vanilla, little tropical fruit, toast and butter. Subtile, complex with enough freshness and bite.
