2017 Capensis Chardonnay Western Cape South Africa

This wine is the Jackson Families first fourey into the South African wine and Graham Weerts from Stonestreet is from South Africa and wanted to go back to make a wine from the Finbosch Vineyard, non malo and 45% new oak here this wine has a beautiful bouquet of flinty mineral like aromas, bacon fat, lemon drop candy fruit and fresh floral notes very complex bouquet. A big chardonnay with lots of everything in proportion. Finish 50+ The first time I tasted thsi wine the flinty sulphur aroma was a bit off putting the second day this bottle seems to be much better the second day with impeccable balance. Excellent +
