- This wine is in a beautiful style - while it starts off with distinct oak on the nose after about five minutes in the air the oak becomes beautifully integrated and leads to a true old world styled chardonnay. Full bodied and harmonious with a flinty minerality and tremendous finesse. Notes of citrus, apples, figs and a distinct nuttiness makes this a delicious wine. While typically South African in style it possesses a remarkable blending of old and new world styles.

- A typical South African Chardonnay because of its beautiful mineral notes and wonderful oak integration. The aromas have Burgundian characters of flint, peaches, lime and some nuttiness while the palate is elegant with loads of finesse that gives it length and freshness.
