Capensis head winemaker Graham Weerts has crafted a lovely bottling with his 2014 Chardonnay. This wine begins with heady aromatics of orchard fruits, white peach, lemon zest, crème brulee, French vanilla and butterscotch. On the palate there is lovely weight, leading to a luscious mouthfeel leading to finish which lingers on. A flat-out delicious Chardonnay that should continue to drink well with some short-term bottle age. (Best 2017-2023) - March, 2017 (OB)
