Not 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.

"The best Chardonnay in the world" is surprisingly rich but very delicious. Pairs well with another South African institution: biltong.

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

More floral than advertised, but pleasant enough on the palate and a good meal accompaniment.
