| Description: | 4 ½ Stars 2021 Platter's South African Wine Guide Majestic 19 (94 pts) has irresistible white flower, citrus & honey aromas, taut white grapefruit flavours & a mineral core. Elegant oak (20% new) adds subtle cream & vanilla. Delicious in youth, take care not to over-age. 91 pts Tim Atkin Mw 2020 Very much in the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge style, with freshness and balance its calling cards, this 20% new wood-fermented Chardonnay is leesy and subtle, with floral elegance and real zip and palate length. La Vierge is a winery to watch under Chriso Kotze. 2021-24 91 pts Decanter 2021 World Wine Awards Cool and restrained with kumquat, lemon rind, and a lick of grapefruit on the finish with a dusting of icing sugar. Winemag.co.za 2020 Prescient Chardonnay Report Top 10 Matured for eight months in 500-litre barrels, 20% new. A leesy note precedes lemon, orange and oatmeal on the nose while the palate is rich and round, creamy in texture and the tangy acidity nicely integrated. This is full but balanced, the finish long and savoury. |
