Domaine des Dieux Chardonnay 2019

(R1,539.00 for 6 x 750ml)
Depth and clarity are the defining characteristics of this wine. The nose shows gentle wood smoke, oyster bed, seville orange and lime peel, orange flower water as well as buttery, lactic notes.
The flavour profile of the wine is decidedly fresh and cool, balanced tantalisingly with a rich, unctuous palate. On the palate, the fruit shows yellow and green plums, finishing with more lime peel and wood smoke. The wine is tight-knit, showing beautifully integrated oak flavours. Such a complex wine is always evolving and will reward slow savouring, as well as a number of years in the cellar.
