2022 De Wetshof Estate Chardonnay Limestone Hill Robertson
Produce of 100% Chardonnay fruit harvested in the cool of early morning from a single hillside vineyard of heavy clay soils so rich in limestone that it shimmers in low light; vivid platinum/yellow in color with aromas suggestive of orchard fruits like green apple and mirabelle plum, citrus zest and a discernable salinity underneath (Chardonnay just loves it some limesone); glides discreetly onto the tongue, then, at once, firm, crisp and broad on the palate with lasting pristine mineral Chardonnay flavor.

2022 Excelsior Chardonnay Robertson
Excelsior’s vineyards are characterized by limestone‑rich calcareous clay soils, ideal for producing fine wine. All estate fruit, a portion of the Chardonnay also comes from broken shale, which gives the wine a stone fruit character. The vines range in age from 4‑21 years and enjoy cool afternoon breezes that sweep through the Robertson Valley in the summer, providing a kind of natural air‑conditioning in the vineyards on hot days. The grapes were hand harvested in the cool, early mornings, at ripeness levels of 23 to 24½° Brix. Fully 3⁄4 of the wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh citrus flavors. The remaining 1⁄4 was fermented and aged in French oak, which lends a subtle toasty nuance. Both portions were aged on their lees for three months. Bright yellow/gold in color with fresh Chardonnay aromas suggestive of green apple and citrus blossom with just a hint of toast; nicely rounded on the tongue with a crisp citrusy freshness of flavor and subtle minerality both satisfying and refreshing; and, as always from Excelsior, exceptional value, too.

2020 Excelsior Cabernet Sauvignon Robertson
Ruby red in color with lovely aromas suggestive of cassis and violet, fleshy ripe grape and earth; medium-bodied, crisp and compelling, invigorating even with mouthwatering Cabernet berry fruit and balancing fresh acidity, nice polished palate feel and soft chalky tannins; holds it shape on the tongue, at once both fresh and vibrant, toothsome and satisfying. And, by all means, note the price. This is simply superb value in Cabernet Sauvignon!

2020 Indaba Chenin Blanc Western Cape
Chenin Blanc is South Africa’s most widely planted varietal and the Cape’s signature white wine, once referred to more simply as
Steen. Indaba Chenin Blanc is produce of 100% sustainably-farmed Chenin Blanc fruit sourced from select vineyard sites in Swartland, Paarl, Stellenbosch, Durbanville, Robertson and McGregor, and characterized by soils (some of the oldest soils in the world) of Table Mountain sandstone, decomposed Dolomite granite, shale and red Karoo clay. The vines range in age from 6 to 36+ years old, more than half of which are low-yielding dry-farmed bush vines. Shimmering platinum/yellow with glints of green in color; fresh, tempting produce-section aromas suggesting melon, kiwi and myriad orchard fruits; tactile on the tongue, well-rounded, supple, slippery, almost gulpable and so completely delicious. Makes one feel good, too — Indaba gives back from its profits to the communities from which it sources. And, do take note of the value here.
