2021 Rustenberg Chardonnay Stellenbosch

Media Reviews

Anthony Mueller

Starting with a fresh and lively nose with oaky essence and balanced sweet citrus tones, the 2021 Chardonnay offers elegant yellow apple and citrus blossom aromas. Medium-bodied, the palate is fresh, clean and lively, offering a balanced structure with succulent acidity before ending with a clean and vibrant finish. Don’t let the screw cap scare you away. This delightful Chardonnay rested 10 months on the lees, spending eight months in 25% new French oak. Give it a try. 90 points

James Suckling

Aromas of green apple, lemon curd, thyme and flint. Medium-bodied with a supple texture. Linear on the palate, which evolves further, with subtle notes of nutmeg and straw adding complexity. Sustainable. Drink now. 92 points
