Product info
A serious, site-driven Chardonnay from Restless River in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, made from one of the region’s oldest vineyard blocks. It’s carefully oaked with just 10% new wood to keep things refined, letting layers of macadamia nut, beeswax, lemon butter and oyster shell shine through. There’s a distinct granitic tension that keeps it fresh and focused, finishing long and clean with real precision and poise.
