    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Tending toward more citrus and flint supporting full ripe fruits, the Ridge Chardonnay comes from a high-density vineyard on a cool, eastern slope on the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge with low-vigour, stony, clay-rich Bokkeveld shale soil. The 2023 was picked with great vibrant, natural acidities and saw an extra two months in barrel, totalling 13 months in Burgundian barriques.

    Neal Martin,

    The 2023 Chardonnay Ridge was hand-picked and vinified with 20% whole bunch. It went through 100% malo and matured for 11 months in French oak, including 8% in clay amphora. This has a bright and lively bouquet with lemon balm, linden and light crushed stone aromas. The palate is well balanced with a smooth texture, presenting touches of tangerine and citrus peel. There is a subtle candied element on the finish that I like. Very appealing.
