Tesselaarsdal Chardonnay 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Hemel-en-Aarde
R395
‘Clean, zesty and citrus-driven, the nose of the 2022 Chardonnay is fresh with hints of oak and plenty of lemon skin and yellow apple. Medium-bodied and with 13% alcohol, the palate is fresh, food-friendly and expressive before ending with a zesty, mineral-driven finish. This little beauty was made with a mix of amphora and oak to bring out and balance dusty minerality with soft, oaky essences. 2022-2031’ – Anthony Mueller, Wine Advocate, 90+/100
'Understated & exceptionally elegant 2022’s honeysuckle-scented flavours of pear & Granny Smith apple gain lovely spice extra from bunch ferment in 15% older small-oak (rest 700L amphora). Improves on 2021 (4 stars, 86 pts) in its focused expression of pristine fruit. Much potential, put some away for a few years.' – Platter's Guide, 4.5* (90/100)
'An elegant wine that reflects roundness and a crisp acidity with subtle defining notes of white pear and lemon toast. Reflective of site, this cool climate medium bodied wine is both silky and fresh with an elegant long finish.' – Winemaker
