2022 Crocodile's Lair Chardonnay, Bouchard Finlayson, Elandskloof Valley
"... Bouchard Finlayson Crocodiles Lair Chardonnay from the sweet spot that is the Elandskloof Valley, tucked away in the Overberg Mountains of South Africa, is sleek and elegant. Thanks to the cool temperatures at 700m, fruit here ripens a month later than other Cape Chardonnays and the result is smooth, supple and restrained. Theres a touch of lemon curd plus apricot and a hint of honeyed toast on the long, satisfying finish."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine
This is a Chardonnay that tastes great: smooth, subtly fruity taste and with not a trace of wood that I could detect. A firm favourite with my family, one of whom said: "I didn't realise that wine could make you feel this good."
