Waterford 2016 Cape Winemakers Guild 1988 Kept Aside Chardonnay (Stellenbosch)

Country: South Africa / Cape Winemakers Guild 1988 Kept Aside
Variety: Chardonnay Stellenbosch
Winery: Waterford /

Winemaker: Kevin Arnold. Bright, clean aromas of cinnamon-dusted yellow apple, dried orange peel and a touch of honeydew unfold on the nose of this rich yet well-balanced Chardonnay. There’s a pleasant creaminess to the medium-weight mouthfeel, though it’s not overly fat or flat, enlivened by ample acidity and forward, lingering notes of baked apple and peach pit on the finish. Drink 2019–2022.
