February 11, 2014 - Chardonnay Tweet up in Elgin (Cape Town): Tasted blind: Light yellow to mid lemon in colour. Unwooded with aromas of Forelle pear slices, lemon quarters and white-fleshed apple with a hint of chalk. The palate is similar to the nose with more lemon blossom, lifted fruit, perhaps slightly wooded, linear in palate shape veering to be a lean chardonnay. A dry chalky finish that lacks perhaps much complexity, but is agreeable, also lacks a bit of punch.
