Crystallum Clay Shales Chardonnay 2025
R 845.00
Grapes from Grapes from Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge. Matured for 10 months in a combination of barrel and foudre. The nose shows a touch of flinty reduction that gives way to pear, peach, citrus, and oatmeal. Concentrated fruit with a snappy line of acidity and a pithy, nicely austere finish. Less about being tightly wound – there’s a hidden richness here – and more about being focused and composed. Alc: 13.49%.
CE’s rating: 95 | Serious
