Product Notes

Kleine Zalze Vineyard Selection Chardonnay is a South African delight, tantalising the palate with subtle notes of citrus, combined with buttery nuances and an underlying minerality. Boasting a beautifully balanced oak influence, this wine presents a refreshing acidity that punctuates its ripe, full-bodied taste. It is notable for a lingering finish hinting at tropical fruits and vanilla undertones. Crafted using carefully selected grapes from Stellenbosch, this exquisite Chardonnay epitomises the sophistication, elegance, and a masterful understanding of viticulture brought by Kleine Zalze winery. Best served chilled, it's unparalleled in pairing with seafood, white meats or rich sauces.

Tasting Notes

Crafted from old vine fruit this is an elegant and complex Chardonnay. The nose is fresh and lively with the merest hint of toast and butterscotch while the intensely flavoured palate shows white peach, crisp pear and rich citrus backed up by a taut mineral acidity and a succulent texture showing well integrated, subtle oak. The finish is long, clean and creamily rich.
