2024 Van Loggerenberg Break a Leg Chardonnay

A relatively new addition to the Break a Leg range (the name refers to the knee injury which almost derailed his first solo harvest!), from two sites in Stellenbosch, one in Kloof (not far from DeMorgenzon, if my geography is correct) and one in Devon Valley (just to the west of the town of Stellenbosch, clay-rich granite soils). Lovely citrus aromas, ripe yet in perfect balance. The palate shows creaminess from extended lees contact, in steel tank rather than oak barrel to retain freshness and lift. A superb wine, and fantastic value! (JH 09/04/2026)
