Waterkloof
False Bay Crystalline Chardonnay
Stellenbosch, Coastal Region, Western Cape, South Africa
Rich ripe apple aromas don't hint at the spiciness that comes on the palate with hints of ginger and lemongrass and lingering herby minerals.

The wine maker says: ”No toasted barrels, no oak flavoured powder” etc. Not sure about what the “powder” comment is all about? But this wine needs some characteristics that make it appear to be a Chardonnay Vs SA Sauvignon Blanc. If this was labeled a SavBlanc it might’ve received a higher rating.
Give me my tropical fruit, my honey my smooth toasted oak finish & pollute it with whatever you want! But make it taste less acidic and gooseberry. I’ll look for good Sav Blanc to fit that need! #winecollective
