Julien Schaal Mountain Vineyards Chardonnay 2023 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Cape South Coast
R215
‘From Elgin grapes, predominantly Paul Cluver but also Lothian. Two thirds matured in barrel, one-third in tank. Lemon, blossom, herbs, a touch of vanilla and a trace of struck-match reduction. The palate is nicely weighted, clean and poised – concentrated fruit matched by snappy acidity, the finish dry. Terrific quality relative to price.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 92/100

| Producer information | Julien Schaal is an Alsace winemaker who fell in love with South Africa upon his first visit in 2003. He immediately saw the potential of South African Chardonnay and a year later, roped in friend, Gordon Newton Johnson (of Newton Johnson vineyards), to help him in his new South African venture. Fascinated by the cool-climate areas of Walker Bay, Elgin and the Hemel-en-Aarde, Julien has sourced grapes from vineyards in each of these regions to create wines that represent the different characteristics of each. Julien now spends each year jumping betweenAlsace and South Africa for the winemaking seasons. |
