Oak Valley Groenlandberg Chardonnay 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Elgin
R300
‘Groenlandberg is a three-clone blend of Chardonnay, based on CY548 with smaller contributions from CY95 and 96. Intense, rich, plush and concentrated, it has a sheen of spicy oak, pear and citrus fruit flavours and plenty of underlying cool climate structure and acidity. 2023-27’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 92/100
‘Typical Elgin oyster shell is there but slightly less prominent in this sunny vintage with very prominent fruit aromatics. The nose has abundant tangerine, fresh apricot and some green apple. On the palate you will find blood orange and yellow peach. There is good weight and concentration but the abundant cool climate acidity provides focus and length to the wine.’ – Winemaker
