The White Lady Chardonnay 2022 oozes undeniable elegance. Laser-like lemon-and-lime acidity cuts through the core of more rounded peach fruit and baked apples, finished off with roasted almond and vanilla pod. The wine is blended from three parcels of fruit (two of which are high in the Helderberg), all harvested at different ripeness. This enables winemaker JD Pretorius to build up enormously complex fruit elements, without relying too much on oak or batonage.
