Capensis Chardonnay 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Western Cape
R995
‘One of the greatest Chardonnays ever produced in South Africa, this is a world-class wine that combines components from the Klein Karoo, Overberg, Robertson and Stellenbosch. Fermented in 35% new barrels, it's a chiselled, intense, fynbos and aniseed scented white with layers of kelp, vanilla spice, oyster shell, struck match and waxed lemon. Long, nuanced and very complex. 2025-32’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 98/100
‘The 2021 Capensis Western Cape Chardonnay captures the interwoven typicity of five exceptional vineyard sites. A shawl of fragrant white flowers, tangerine zest and blooming mountain scrub wraps around a core of ripe yellow stone fruits. Seamless and poised, the palate shows beautiful richness that is balanced by an impressive tension and oyster shell minerality which concludes in a lime-toned saline finish.’ – Winemaker
