ONEIRIC CHARDONNAY 2013

from ZAR 320.00

The golden yellow of chalcopyrite, a copper sulphide ore, perfectly complements the warm glow of the Oneiric Chardonnay. Grown in Elgin’s cool-climate vineyards, this Chardonnay showcases the varietal’s natural acidity and impressive ageing potential.

The 2013 vintage is Burgundian in spirit, offering bright lime and light citrus pith layered with Turkish delight, crème brûlée, and delicate butterscotch. Subtle nuttiness and refined oak influence add depth, while a steely minerality—an expression of the terroir—anchors the palate. Aged for eight months in 100% new French oak, this is a standout wine for the true Chardonnay devotee.
