Kruger Sutherland Chardonnay 2023

Region: Sutherland
Tasting note:
‘A wine that joins the ranks of the Cape’s most exciting whites with its first release, this stunning Chardonnay comes from a 2009 parcel at 1,500 metres in Sutherland. Pithy, intense, and struck match scented, it’s a white that has elements of Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling, all greengage, lime and grapefruit complemented by 50% new wood, wet stone and gunflint intensity and a lingering finish. An auspicious début. 2024-32’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 96/100
“Grapes from a vineyard planted in 2009 at 1,500m above sea level. Matured in two 400-litre barrels, one new and the other third-fill. Varied aromatics of lemon, peach, nectarine, blossom and Karoo dust road. The palate is seamless possessing both breadth and depth. With great fruit density and well-integrated acidity, this has huge presence and yet is entirely harmonious. The first commercial bottling ever, total production was a mere 550 bottles. Alc: 13.5%.” – CE 95pts
