Description
Bouchard Finlayson’s Crocodile’s Lair Chardonnay comes from the single Kaaimansgat (Crocodile) vineyard in the cool-climate Overberg. The 2024 vintage continues to high-light the vineyard’s remarkable and consistent textural expression. Explosive citrus and succulent apricot fruit flavours engage the palate and drives an exhilarating fresh persistence. Excellent length. Nuanced and layered, however, it will reward further patience in spades. Sublime definition.
Ageing potential: Drink now through 2029.
Food pairing: The richness of the wine works very well with a mild tandoori salmon and coriander chutney. Alternatively a leafy herb salad with a light drizzle of miso dressing or a classic avocado ritz.
Alcohol: 13.5% ABV
