TASTING NOTES
100% Chardonnay
The White Lady is a highly awarded South African Chardonnay. This beautifully layered wine reflects legacy and precision, with a track record of excellence. A creamy texture, with classic Chardonnay attributes of citrus, white peach, and pear, delights the palate.
From four specifically, selected Stellenbosch sites, two on the Helderberg, that bring freshness and acidity, and one in Vlottenburg on a South-Easterly slope adding a citrus lift and the fourth one from Warwick on a warmer West facing slope of the Simonsberg, adding textural and structural elements and a floral lift, to the wine. All four vineyards are picked separately at different ripeness levels to add complexity and texture to the final blend.
The wine has a rich and inviting nose with hints of citrus, apricot, peach, toasted nuts, and spices. The palate is powerful and packed with fruit weight, yellow apple, toasted almonds, and freshly baked brioche with a stone fruit medley. Fresh acidity adds balance and length to the finish. Ready to enjoy now but will develop further and reward careful cellaring over the next three to five years.
Food Pairing: Grilled line fish with roasted tomatoes and fresh greens.
