Sutherland Anna Chardonnay 2017 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Elgin
R400
‘Thelema's Reserve bottling is made with the best barrels rather than a vineyard selection. With 30% malolactic and 80% new wood, this may sound like a rich wine, but the opposite is true. It's linear, toasty and complex, with a hint of cream and vivid fresh lemon flavours. 2022-28’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2022, 94/100
‘This Chardonnay articulates the sense of place through the chalky minerality and subtle brioche notes. An intriguing grapefruit essence softens the oak elements, which leaves a lingering, refined acidity. Aged for 10 months in French oak.’ – Winemaker
