(Vintage 2022) Jancis Robinson 16/20 Points | Quite a rich Chardonnay on the nose and then very refreshing on the end before quite a sudden finish. Probably needs a bit more time in bottle.
(Vintage 2022) Robert Parker | Simple aromas of white peach and Asian pear flow out of the glass of the 2022 Chardonnay. Medium-bodied, the palate is fresh and clean, offering classic flavors of yellow apples and citrus blossom before ending with an uncomplicated finish. 20,000 bottles of this Chardonnay were produced from Stellenbosch and Elgin fruit, which were left on the lees for seven months before bottling.
