Sutherland Chardonnay 2021, Thelema Mountain Vineyards

When three Masters of wine wrote that Sutherland Chardonnay put many white Burgundy wines to shame, its reputation was made and its popularity soared. Hailing from South Africa’s top-quality, cool-climate Elgin region, it is masterfully understated and nuanced on the nose, with citrus and greengage fruit character, sesame oil, flint and just a suggestion of oak. Fresh and zesty in the mouth, with a richness that gradually builds on the palate. Delicious – and amazing value for money.
