Stellenbosch Chardonnay 2019, Rustenberg

A benchmark Chardonnay in Frontier’s list; Rustenberg’s Stellenbosch Chardonnay is one of the most identifiable and finely-tuned examples from South Africa. Offering notes of apricot, coconut and orange peel followed by flavours of marzipan, sponge cake and citrus rounded off with carefully judged oak and balanced, fresh acidity.  This is truly first rate Chardonnay.

Aging potential: 8+ years from vintage under ideal cellaring conditions

    string(513) "Possibly the most famous grape variety in the world, Chardonnay has found a home in pretty much every corner of the wine world. From crisp, flinty Chablis styles to full-bodied, oaky, rich Napa Valley Chardonnay it is a variety which has the ability to morph according to the climate or winemaking philosophy. It also has the capacity to produce amongst the greatest white wines in the world. Some praise indeed for this chameleon variety, the likes of which may only truly be matched by Riesling or Chenin Blanc."
