DE WETSHOF Estate Chardonnay 'Bateleur' - Robertson 2024 Bottle VGN/VEG/SUS

Description

The 2024 De Wetshof Estate Bateleur Chardonnay, the flagship white from this renowned Robertson producer, presents a refined expression of the variety. The wine displays delicate aromas of citrus and white flowers, which evolve on the palate into generous layers of stone fruit, pear drop, and an intriguing nuttiness, all supported by a whisper of butterscotch. The texture is creamy and elegant, perfectly balanced by a fresh, zingy lime acidity and a subtle minerally undertow that adds dimension. This Chardonnay is crafted using traditional barrel fermentation techniques, showcasing the limestone rich terroir of the estate. It has received notable recognition, including 92 points from Wine Advocate and 90 points from James Suckling.
