Teddy Hall
Cape Winemakers Guild Maria Van Swaanswijk Auction Reserve Chardonnay
South Africa
@Delectable Wine this is the 2012 Cape Winemakers Guild (Teddy Hall) Maria Van Swaanswijk Auction Reserve Chardonnay.
First wine for our annual DMV South Africa tasting. Medium to medium plus golden yellow. Lovely and layered nose with a chalky attack followed up by lemon zest, gravel, brioche and tropical fruit notes too. Vibrant acidity (6.5/10) and medium plus body. So smooth and rich on the attack with tropical and citrus notes with a bit of oak and creaminess as well on the palate. Long and lingering finish with minerality underneath. Needed a little bit of time in the glass to fully open up. Drink till 2022.
This is Teddy Hall's auction bottling at the Cape Winemakers Guild Auction for 2013. Made up of Chardonnay from Stellenbosch and Somerset West then aged in 100% French oak.
