Paul Cluver Ferricrete Chardonnay Reserve Collection 2016

Western Cape, South AfricaPioneer Elgin winemaker Paul Cluver makes this Western Cape chardonnay for the local RSA market. Creamy and likeable, with white orchard fruit, light spice, just a touch of well-integred wood to house, and a snappy, bright finish. I wish more wineries could make "entry-level" accessible chardy like this, without lashing it with fat oak and vanilla and weight. 13 percent alcohol too. Well done.Tasted: 29 May 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
