2019 Chardonnay, Meerlust, Stellenbosch
The Chardonnay here is a slightly richer style than is the fashion with some of South Africa’s new wave winemakers. It comes from four different plots on the estate, from different soil types, all facing south to preserve freshness. And the wine is creamy and intense, but still with plenty of saline focus. It’s a joyful white, from a truly historic estate.
