We call wines like this “head-scratchers” because it’s just so hard to figure out how a wine so very, very, delicious and satisfying could be so very inexpensive. Once you taste it, you’ll be calling it your new 2023 value champion even before the new year has arrived!
This is 100% Chardonnay grown on pockets of limestone soil (Chardonnay’s favorite!) in South Africa’s Robertson region, about 90 minutes east of Cape Town and Stellenbosch. Warm, sunny, days let Chardonnay ripen to generous fruit-filled expressiveness while cool, sometimes downright chilly, nights lock in freshness and invigorating acidity. You’ll love the flavors and aromas of ripe peach, apricot, crisp pear and juicy yellow apple fruit that keep on pumping through a deliciously succulent finish. And fermenting and aging 25% of the wine in new French oak brings out delicious accents of spice and buttered hazelnut without getting in the way of the fresh fruit and light green citrus accent at the end. Fun for solo and party sipping, rich enough to enjoy with winter meals, and priced to share with a crowd!
