Stellenbosch Chardonnay is starting to win the hearts of international wine lovers, and few areas show Chardonnay’s quality as exceptionally as the
Banghoek Valley. An ever-so-gentle golden hue is seen in the glass, promising a delightful tasting experience. The nose is incredibly inviting; ripe
apricots, naartjie, quince, and loquat aromas are in abundance. The touch of oak is well integrated, with light vanilla and slightly smoky characteristics floating at the edge of perception. The wine has a divine mid-palate weight, with a juicy acidity that carries the fruit to a long and zesty finish. Additionally, the palate shows a delicate balance of jasmine, honey melon, and orange peel. This wine will age well for another 15 years.
