Restless River 'Ava Marie' Chardonnay 2023
R 644.00
From a single vineyard planted in 1998 on granite. Matured for 12 months, predominantly in 500-litre barrels (10% new) with a small portion in amphora. Captivating aromatics of floral perfume atop citrus and subtle waxy complexity. The palate shows concentrated fruit matched by vibrant acidity, finishing properly dry. Well delineated and creamy in the best sense, it is a wine of both breadth and depth, savoury and well balanced. Alc: 13.03%.
CE’s rating: 96/100
