About this wine
This unwooded Chardonnay from the Western Cape is dry and full-flavoured, with lively acidity balancing its ripe fruit. Look for citrus, apple and peach, sometimes with a subtle tropical note; without oak, the fruit remains at the centre of the wine. The exact expression may vary by vintage.
