De Wetshof Bon Vallon Chardonnay 2024

De Wetshof Bon Vallon Unwooded Chardonnay, Robertson, South Africa, 2024      

Grape: 100% Chardonnay, unwooded, 15 year old vines on limestone soil

Bon Vallon is an unwooded Chardonnay exuding a brisk and clean freshness of fresh green apple, classic flavours including citrus, wild flowers and grilled nuts, with zingy, mineral flavours lingering on the palate. A full bodied, dry white wine. 

Critic's Tasting Note:

"The De Wetshof Estate 2024 Robertson Bon Vallon Chardonnay is linear and focused with pretty mineral highlights. It's a little subdued overall, but you get a nice presentation of stone fruits, preserved lemon and tart grapefruit. The style is tonic and tight, and I would suggest you serve this bottle extra chilled. The mouthfeel is streamlined but should flesh out over the next year or two. This is another great Chardonnay, with 40,000 bottles released from a producer focused on this grape."  Drink 2024-2030
