1 person found it helpfulMay 11th, 2020This stunning South African Chardonnay offers alluring aromas of fresh peach, ginger, quinine and nutty vanillin oak. It’s glyceral-smooth in the mouth, showing a hint of exotic ripeness to its plush but lively stone and citrus fruit, marzipan and mineral flavors. (ST)

Jul 23rd, 2018Really surprised by this wine. Oak was present in the glass, ripe fruit, apple pie, baking spices, slightly cheesy. But it maintained fantastic acid on the palette with a lot of minerality. It was in no way fat or flabby. Really enjoyable.

May 12th, 2018A really high maintenance wine. Had to try a couple different glasses, experiment with temperature. Orange peel. A touch of marzipan in the finish. Too much fucking working to make this wine shine.
