2022 West Cape Howe Styx Gully Chardonnay

Fruit was sourced from the best two blocks of Chardonnay on West Cape Howe’s Langton vineyard and is barrel fermented (approximately 40% new) in oak with no malolactic fermentation.
Bright straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Nosing offers up scents of nectarine, citrus and bees wax which have a delicate toast overlay. Some lemon butter and spice notes are also evident. Medium bodied and creamy textured, nectarine, pear and citrus flavours are melded to lemon butter, dried honey, cashew and spicy nougat elements. Good freshness finishing full and texturally rounded.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
