Oldenburg Vineyards Chardonnay is a stunning South African wine, embodying sophistication and charm in every sip. It has a vivid, golden hue and boasts an intriguing bouquet of citrus fruits, vanilla and subtle oak undertones. The allure extends to the palate as well, with delightful layers of lemon, peach, and toasted brioche. The refined texture has a refreshing acidity that beautifully balances the creamy richness, creating an exquisite, lengthy finish. Oldenburg Vineyards Chardonnay is indeed an exquisite treat for discerning connoisseurs; it's delightful when paired with seafood dishes, poultry or creamy pastas.

Tasting Notes

Practically bursting out of the glass, this Chardonnay is alive with tropical and floral notes. Aromas of loquat, apricot, white peaches and a slight touch of lime greet the taster in the glass. Further aromas delicately weave their way through the vibrancy with notes of toasted almonds, nectarine, vanilla and caramel. A racy acidity keeps the dense palate in check and allows for wave after wave of aromas and flavours to tickle their way across the palate. A beautiful wine that will continue to age spectacularly over the next 8 – 12 years.
