Product Notes

Journey's End Haystack Chardonnay is an exquisitely refined white wine teeming with charisma. Hailing from South Africa's revered Cape Winelands, it possesses a beguiling golden hue. The bouquet presents a flamboyance of tropical fruit, citrus, and a hint of oak. On the palate, this Chardonnay strikes a tantalising balance between richness and acidity, flourishing in bright pineapple and peach flavours, finely accented by a subtle buttery smoothness. This elegantly complex wine is vivaciously refreshing, offering a prolonged and satisfying finish. Journey's End Haystack Chardonnay is an exceptional testament to South African wine craftsmanship, ideal for discerning wine enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes

Clear and bright, straw with a hint of green. Oak and fruit are perfectly matched, each having its say without dominating; citrus peel and melon enriched by a subtle, savoury biscuit overlay. The limey acidity seamed through the fruit flavours gives food-friendly freshness and promises a few years’ ageing potential.
