Burgundian classicism meets high-altitude freshness in this Chardonnay from Kaaimansgat (Crocodile's Lair), one of South Africa's best Chardonnay sites, planted at 700 metres altitude in the Elandskloof mountains. Fermented and aged for eight months in French oak (23% new), there's a fleshy yet subtle nuttiness and cedary smokiness over juicy citrus and melon. Gentle seam of flint and gunpowder.
