The nose offers a beautifully complex combination of citrus, green apples and toasty, buttery aromas. The palate is delightfully smooth, rich and buttery with lingering fruity notes of lemons and green apples.
K1 Chardonnay is styled to accentuate the characters of Kuitpo’s cool growing conditions and terroir. The fruit is gently handled to ensure aromatics are retained, with French oak and malolactic fermentation used to enhance the wine’s purity of fruit character. The 2018 growing season started slowly, but warmer weather eventually helped to speed things up. Fruit set throughout the region was good and the low rainfall and warm weather from January to April resulted in great sugar development, while a cooler than average March offered ideal night temperatures for colour and flavour development.
94 Point Rated Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"This is gorgeously expressed on the nose showing enticing aromas of ripe stone fruit, orange peel, nougat and oatmeal, followed by a concentrated palate that is wonderfully rounded and creamy. The wine is harmonious and seamless with generosity and elegance in one."
93 Point Rated Wine Showcase Magazine 2019
"Pretty, elegant, wine. Light fruit and simple oak bouquet and a palate that opens up to toasty vanilla characters with crisp acid."
