Wine Region: Elandskloof

(2025) From the Kaaimansgaat vineyard at 700 metres altitude and dry grown vineyards, this is made by Adam Mason, the flying winemaker who spent many years at Klein Constantia. Seriously presented with its waxed capsule, it immediately impresses with a combination of mealy, oatmeal and almond, a strike of flint and burgeoning peachy fruit. Textured an rich in the mouth, the elegant core of acidity shears through the finish. A lovely Chardonnay this. £19.99 when you mix 12 bottles. Watch the video for more information.

(2019) The vineyard is at 700 metres above sea level in Elandskloof. The vines are 10 years old, and Jessica says it is a very small vineyard. A touch of beetroot earthiness, a nice stalky touch of briar, but a fulsom red fruit beneath. The fruit bursts with sweetness on the palate, beautifully ripe and scented, light spice and cherry compote into a balanced, fresh finish.
