Clay Shales Chardonnay 2024 – Crystallum
A complex and elegant Chardonnay from Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, displaying both power and finesse. The aroma offers pears, lychee, vanilla, and a hint of smoke and flowers. The palate is full-bodied, creamy, and structured with fresh acidity, minerality, and notes of banoffee pie and citrus.
Ready to drink now – but feel free to cellar it for 5–10 years for even more depth.
Perfect with fish in butter or nut sauce, scallops, light poultry, creamy pasta dishes, or mature, soft cheeses.
Serving temperature: around 10-12 °C.
