  2020 Chardonnay, Mulderbosch

  £1995

  Inviting aromas of white chocolate and toffee lead to notes of sweet vanilla fudge and sandalwood. Fresh and zesty on the palate, with pineapple sweetness and citrus zest enveloped by melt in the mouth viscosity and real depth of flavour through to a very long finish.

  The Chardonnay grapes come from the estate vineyard in Stellenbosch. The vineyards benefit from being 14 kilometres from False Bay, where the strong maritime influence cools the vineyards in the hot, summer months, ensuring good levels of natural grape acidity in the final wine, central to the Mulderbosch style of fresh, balanced wines. The soil is made up of decomposed sandstone with some granitic conglomerate stones, known as ‘Koffieklip’. This iron-ferrite rich soil produces wines with more minerality and intensity.

Guillaume Michel runs the domaine now, 80% of the vines are farmed organically, he is strictly sustainable in the vineyards with the highest level of HVE certification.

Without the presence of oxygen in the early stages of their development these wines take longer to express themselves in bottle, but richly reward those who wait.

  2019 Old Stage Chardonnay, Gabilan Winery

  I secretly think we all miss those big luscious, oaky Californian Chardonnays, the ones before they all got expensive and over-the-top.

The palate is full of summery notes of ripe stone fruit, citrus and pie crust.  As with all the Wonderwall Chardonnays from previous vintages, it has that irresistible mouthwatering feeling that invites the next sip.  Drink now and to 2026.

He began spotting more and more interesting and overlooked vineyards – often rocky, wilder sites located closer to the Pacific, farmed mindfully by clients who have become friends over many years.  This Chardonnay is sourced from Edna Valley.
