| \"90% Chardonnay, 9% Pinot Noir, 1% Pinot Blanc ... Elegant, iridescent gold in colour; Oyster shell and chalky limestone character leads to pineapple, fresh yellow apple and salted caramel flavours with a fine, persistent mouthfilling mousse; Creamy textures on the mid-palate with some baked pie-crust, and a refreshing, tangy finish.\" (weekendspecial.co.za, Oct. 25, 2017) TASTING NOTE: [The South Africa Special Report 2017 did not include a tasting note.] Score - 89 (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, South Africa Special Report 2017) |
