| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.3 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 10 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by hkm520240 on 12/28/2019 & rated 92 points: This is 100% barrel fermented with ambient yeast, 30% new, and stays on the gross lees for nine months. Pale golden yellow, showing aromas of citrus, butter toast, vanilla and subtle oak. Rich on the palate with fresh acidity carry through seamless mid-palate. Wonderful long aftertaste with creamy butterscotch. This is another impressive Chardonnay from South Africa. Still holding very well.

(773 views) | | Tasted by larseman on 11/1/2014 & rated 88 points: Smör, kokos, nötter och tropisk frukt. Balans. Fyllig med smak av blodgrape och apelsin. Bra syra och längd. (1313 views) | | Tasted by rikipedia on 2/11/2014 & rated 88 points: Chardonnay Tweet up in Elgin (Cape Town): fairly intense light yellow colour. Aromas of nut, sea salt, mineral and oatmeal. Fresh and vibrant with oak quite prominent at the moment but works. Classy wine on the palate with more a mineral line, juicy fruit, finishes perhaps a tad short. Plenty of apples and lemons are all cut with vibrant acidity, showing Elgin capabilities. Perhaps a tad drying on the finish for me. (200 views) |
