Shannon Oscar Browne Chardonnay 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Elgin
R400
‘The Oscar Brown block was picked twice in 2022 to maximise the layers in the wine. Fermented in 23% new barrels with full malolactic to follow, this combines the 76, 95 and 548 clones to good effect, with lime, peach and nectarine fruit flavours and a buttery, textured mid palate. 2023-26’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 91/100

| Producer information | The name Shannon pays homage to the owner’s ancestors who come from Irish descent. Located in the Elgin Valley within the Kogelberg Biosphere, Shannon Vineyards’ unique terroir speaks for itself. With the Peninsula Dam creating the eastern boundary of the farm, the vineyards experience a cooling blanket of mist which is such a great geographical influencer on the farm’s climate, that Shannon has included the river mist in their logo. As such, the winemaking follows a minimal intervention approach to allow the different terroirs to be expressed in the wines. |
