Delheim Chardonnay Sur Lie

The closest to top Burgundy we have ever tasted from South Africa, rich and toasty but in no way over oaked. The fruit too is much cooler than expected and there is a lightness and elegance to the wine. Oscar winning winemaking!

The Dubliner

"This is the rich and full bodied oaked style of Chardonnay. Smoky scents have a grilled hazelnut and a butterscotch sauce note. The ripe apple and melon flavours are enriched by the oak’s nutty and white pepper spiciness. Resting the wine on its lees (spent yeast cells) adds a savoury depth and a creamy texture. A white rich enough to match with roast pork and apple sauce. "

Irish Mail on Sunday

"A real favourite. Left on the lees to add body and flavour, it has some weight on the palate with toasty oak, ripe apple and melon flavours complementing the taste of citrus. Great balance."
