Break a Leg, Chardonnay, 2022
justerini & brooks tasting note
An unoaked Chardonnay which is 50% from the Polkadraai Hills (Blue Gum Grove – Granite soils) and 50% Devon Valley (Clay soils). Vinified and raised in two separate stainless steel tanks, bottled after six months. Clear and pretty, there is a bit more fruit to the 2022 and less reduction, gentle and easy going with a crisp feel, unusual for Chardonnay in this region. 13% ABV.

88/100Neal Martin,Vinous
The 2022 Chardonnay Break A Leg is realized in stainless steel. It has a saline, almost Chablis-like bouquet with impressive focus. The palate is well-balanced with a slightly leesy entry. It’s very pure with light grip with a slightly peachy and honeyed finish. Understated, elegant and something to drink over the next 2-4 years.
