Oak Valley Groenlandberg Chardonnay 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Elgin
R270
'Naturally barrel-fermented 2021 continues along elegant path crafted to preserve fresh natural acid; only 25% new oak, no malo or bâtonnage. Fabulous citrus concentration, mineral vitality & subtle oatmeal, hazelnut & orange peel nuances after 9 months in 300L.' – Platter’s Guide, 5*(95/100)
'Produced in a vintage when "we could pick when we wanted", according to Jacques DuPlessis, this nicely focused 2021 release was made with two clones from a pair of vineyards on the estate. Taut and pithy, this is saline and nicely refreshing with appealing cool climate structure, perfumed 28% new wood and mouth-watering palate length. 2023-29' – Tim Atkin, MW, South African Special Report 2022, 92/100
