(2021) An interesting 'compare and contrast' tasting this alongside the Vergelegen Chardonnay, which is unashamedly barrel-influenced, whereas this is much more restrained, with 1.5% less alcohol and a gentle sheen of almond rather than full-on toast and butter. It's an elegant wine, little floral nuances joining citrus and ripe orchard fruits, a little spice too on the palate, and though lacking the personality of the Vergelegen, deliciously drinkable.
