Burgundian in Frankschoek. 12 year old vines on decomposed sandstone and gravel with less direct sunlight. Medium acid, lean and clean. 100% malo in barrel for one year (made of piano oak, lightly toasted) after being transferred from stainless steel tanks. New French oak after malo. White flowers, acacia, yellow flowers too, lemon zest, lemon oil, slightly honey notes, crushed dame stone, saline, minerality. Little oak perception except on the palate. Medium plus body, medium minus finish/length. Some white tannins from oak treatment coat the mouth. 13.9% abv.

A lovely and almost discrete Chardonnay. Made by Chassagne-Montrachet producer Philippe Colin, it is surprisingly reticent and very well balanced. Lemon, green apple and nectarine on the nose it has very well balanced acidity in the mouth with just a hint of oak to give it depth. A lovely wine.

Good Chardonnay. Shows some French influence with Citrus flavors. Moderate minerality and decent acidity.
