Crystallum
The Agnes Western Cape Chardonnay
Western Cape, South Africa
Very mineral driven and finished with lots of saline notes. Quite lean. Plenty of citrus notes. Better enjoy it with food.

John of Thorne and Daughters poured the wine order and felt Peter’s Crystallum Agnes Chardonnay work well as our 5th wine.
The nose is very delicate & soft. Green apple, lemon, lime, white peach, pineapple, beeswax, soft delicate minerals & chalkiness with yellow lilies and florals.
The body is full, round and a touch waxy. The fruits are understated. Green apple, lemon, lime, white peach, pineapple, beeswax, soft delicate minerals & chalkiness, white spice with yellow yellow florals & lilies. Amazing acidity. The finish is rich, ripe, round, well balanced and delicious.
