Oak Valley Tabula Rasa South Ridge CY548 2018 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Elgin
R700
‘Fuller than clonal partner from high-density vineyard, but also athletic. Fragrant honeysuckle introduces 2018, bigger (14% alcohol), riper, toasted almond nuance. A mineral, wet stone luminescence lights up the dry finish. 50% new oak. 100-120 cases of this pair. Maiden was 2017 (5 stars, 95 pts).’ – Platter's Guide, 4.5* (94/100)
‘One of a pair of Oak Valley Chardonnays where the only difference is the clone (CY548 here), this is ageing faster than its sibling. Rich and honeyed with a broad palate, toasty oak, notes of brioche and patisserie and tangy supporting acidity. 2021-24’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2021, 91/100
