Goedhuis, August 2024
Banghoek’s cooler climate means that the area is ideally suited for the production of more elegant and Burgundian styles of Chardonnay. Fermented and matured in French oak, this is a full, malolactic style with wonderful textural richness and a delicate creaminess front and centre. Showing aromas of ripe orchard fruit and honey, there is precision and mouth-watering freshness on the palate, with toasted brioche notes adding further depth to the finish. On a par with any great premier cru Burgundy.

Neal Martin, August 2024, Score: 92
The 2023 Chardonnay comes from the Banhoek Valley, harvested from seven-year-old vines after the entire vineyard was replanted to make it virus-free. It has a fresh and lively nose, with lemon sherbet and orange zest tincturing the citrus fruit and touches of flint developing with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a mineral-driven opening, good tension and slight reduction. Lightly spiced on the finish, this is a very commendable showing, especially considering the youth of the vines. Drink 2024-2034.
Region
Stellenbosch
An important region in South Africa, named after the beautiful town at its centre, it is the hub of viticultural activity and learning in the country. Only slightly warmer than Bordeaux, this is an ideal climate for grape growing, and produces many impressive Bordeaux blends, as well as Chenin Blancs.
