Vinteloper Chardonnay 2021

A wine style inspired by the quiet appeal of understated luxury.
As the ‘natural wine’ scene gathers pace for its faulty and bizarre examples, we choose to take on those who think in order to be natural it must be weird. 

It's a tailored suit vibe.
The class and quality are abundant once you try it on for size.
While restrained in its youth, this wine looks set to blossom in the medium term. 

TASTING NOTES

Aromas of lifted white flowers, peach, lemon curd, oyster shell, chalk, beeswax and baking spice. Palate of crystal-clear characteristics of fine Chardonnay. The acid is beautifully balanced and keeps the palate in check while allowing it to feel luxurious with the oak integration. Meyer lemon, orange rind, honeycomb and toast. Medium bodied, seamless with a mouthwatering persistent finish.
