South African Chardonnay is a bit of an unsung gem. The countrys best known for its blockbuster redslike Barista Pinotage. And now the winemaker behind that customer favourite has made this ripe, fruity, juicy Chardonnay. Bertus Fourie is nicknamedStarbucksbecause hes famous for bringing out the distinctive coffee-like flavours of his trademark Pinotage. Hes done the same with this white. Its all about citrus. Zippy, zesty, creamy citruswith just a touch of peach and vanilla. Its part-fermented and matured in old oak barrels, giving the texture a roundness which is a great foil to the crispness of the fruit. Its delicious with grilled chicken.
