Trizanne Signature Wines Benede-Duivenshokrivier Chardonnay 2023 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Cape South Coast
R445
‘Grapes harvested three weeks earlier than usual and the wine did not go through malolactic fermentation. Matured for 10 months in barrel, 20% new. A top note of orchard blossom before pear and lime, fresh nuts and a brush of vanilla. The palate is light-bodied but not attenuated (alcohol is 12.7% and RS is 4g/l) – well-delineated fruit, fresh acidity and a pithy finish.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100
'Trizanne Barnard shares this vineyard with Richard Kershaw and you can see what appeals to both of them about the grapes. Showing its cool climate, Atlantic Ocean-influenced terroir, it has aromas of toast and pistachio from 20% new oak, pear and citrus fruit and a tangy, low alcohol finish. 2024-30' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 93/100
‘A superbly elegant Chardonnay, layered with citrus and apple notes with a stealy minerality creating that perfect tension in the wine. Beautifully balanced natural acidity gives this wine ample longevity and punch. Delicate yet gravitas. A wine that evolves slowly yet elegantly over time in the bottle.’ – Winemaker
