Awards, Reviews and other Notes

91 pts Tim Atkin MW 2019
Edmund Terrablanche makes this elegant, mineral-edged chardonnay from two-vineyards on the farm in Franschhoek, planted in 1987 and 2011. With stylish 30% new wood and some malotactic fermentation, it's leesy yet refreshing with citrus and pear fruit 2019-2023

Winemaker Notes

Greeny straw colour. Fruity lemon and nectarine on the nose, with hints of cashew and lees as the only evidence of wood maturation. A juicy and polished entry, medium full with lots of citrus and juicy peach on the palate. Lively length with good freshness for a wood-matured wine.
