Cape Mentelle 16 Hectares chardonnay 2024

This is an immediately ready-to-drink chardonnay, displaying good fruit depth and expression and a well-crafted palate. Captures the citrus, grapefruity notes, a little bit of the lemongrass, and lemon curd complexity. There's a trace of stone fruit, nectarine dominated, and a minerally palate showing a nice oak and fruit integration. Drinking perfectly now.
