The Ava Marie Chardonnay is a simply brilliant South African Chardonnay, that wows with its poise, focus and length. Notes of acacia and orange blossom intertwine with sea spray and crunchy apples and lemon essence. The texture is so fine and slightly oily, and there’s an effortless balance here. South Africa’s Montrachet?
Craig Wessels picks this two-hectare block in five stages to achieve maximum balance and complexity. Large barrel and amphora-fermented, it’s a stunning, elegantly refined Chardonnay with understated oak, some cinnamon spice, good texture and a fresh, citrus peel finish. One of the Cape’s best Chardonnays.
