This vintage has not been rated yet, see 2021 tasting notes:
'Kara-Tara is Stark-Condé winemaker Rudger van Wyk's own project, entirely focused on Burgundian grapes. This stylish Chardonnay marries grapes from Elgin, the Overberg and Paarl. Poised between citrus and stone fruit flavours, with subtle toast and wet stone undertones. 2022-27' – Tim Atkin, MW, South African Special Report 2022, 92/100
'Grapes are sourced from carefully-selected premium vineyards in the Western Cape. This wine has the classic notes of lemon & grapefruit you'd expect from Chardonnay, with hints of almond & a fine, mineral finish.' – Winemaker

| Producer information | Kara-Tara is a joint-venture between Rudger van Wyk (2018 Diners Club Young Winemaker of the Year) and José Conde of Stark-Condé Wines. The name Kara-Tara refers to a small town near Knysna, where winemaker Rudger van Wyk grew up. Translated from the traditional Khoisan, it means 'deep dark shadows' and refers to the Karatara river that runs through the town. |
