The Winery of Good Hope - Unoaked Chardonnay 2023
(R891.00 for 6 x 750ml)
- Produced by Radford Dale Wines -
This unoaked Chardonnay is an easy-drinking yet classy, affordable wine with more freshness, elegance and depth than commercial methods customarily permit. This Chardonnay has complexity and texture while still retaining the verve of the vineyards in Stellenbosch and Robertson which are getting older and more concentrated.
A blend of Chardonnay from two complementary locations. The first, smallest component, comes from Ocean-facing Helderberg vineyards; the second from Robertson. Each vineyard contributes a complementary and entirely different facet to the eventual blend. The fruit from Stellenbosch has more depth, weight and fruit concentration while the Robertson grapes are grown on alluvial valley soils, which inject a citrus zing, freshness and minerality into the wine.
