Vergelegen Chardonnay Reserve 2023

"Picked before the rains that made the 2023 vintage so challenging for late-season reds, this
is a very well-judged Chardonnay from new winemaker Luke O'Cuinneagain. Fermented
in one-third new wood, with 40% malolactic adding texture, it's a focused, tangy style with
layers of lime, citrus and pear and undertones of aniseed and vanilla spice. 2025-31" 93pts Tim Atkin MW South Africa Report 2024
