| Description: | 96 pts Tim Atkin MW 2021 Lower in alcohol than the 2019 release - the vintage was cooler, explains Emul Ross - this nuanced Chardonnay combines grapes from 22 different blocks on the farm and confirms the wine's status as one of the best examples in the Cape. Focused and saline, with subtle notes of struck match reduction, fine oak and some texture from 10% malolactic. Bravo! 2022-28 4 ½ Stars 2022 Platter's South African Wine Guide As sibling, decades-long a quality beacon, thoughtful terroir expression & vintage barometer. 20 (94 pts) alluring pear, citrus & starfruit with minerals & bright natural acid.
