Kasteelberg Chardonnay
Riebeek Valley Wine Company
South Africa - Western Cape - Coastal Region - Swartland

The Kasteelberg range of wines celebrates the discovery of the Riebeek Valley and the Kasteelberg mountains in 1661. Kasteelberg stands sentinel over the fertile valley below. From the slopes of the mountains, hand-selected grapes are expertly crafted with care to produce rare and expressive wines.

Rich and golden with strong tropical aromas, beautifully enhanced by subtle tones of well-integrated oak. Although upfront and bold, the secret of this wine is in its exceptional balance, an outstanding version of the classic Chardonnay.

2015 Kasteelberg Chardonnay - 90 PTS - WE

wine enthusiast 90 pts"This wine leads with rich and mature notes of toasted apple skin, honeycomb cereal, creamed melon and grilled peach. It's a touch round and soft upon entry, but the palate received a welcome lift from ample acidity and an ensuring sweet-spice finish, reminiscent of spiced orange rind and baked apple. Drink now–2020. — Lauren Buzzeo"
