| Description: | 4 ½ Stars 2020 Platter's South African Wine Guide Latest 17 (93 pts) reflects increased flinty tension, agile lightness of foot enhanced by bright citrus zest. None at expense of characteristic creamy lees, oatmeal & nutty savoury concentration. Oak (70% new 300L) complementary. Lovely potential. 91 pts Wine Advocate March 2020 Bursting with oak tones and spices that jump out of the glass along with aromas of apple, pear and white acacia flowers, the 2017 Chardonnay Five Soldiers has an impressive depth that can be sensed on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, the Chardonnay shows an impressive balance with an open-knit palate that delivers pleasure. This wine checks all of the boxes that I would want out of a Chardonnay, with vanilla oak tones, pear cup and lemon panna cotta, ending with a lingering soft, oaky finish. Well done! 2020-2026 |
