Kara-Tara
Kara-Tara is a joint-venture between Rüdger van Wyk (2018 Diners Club Young Winemaker of the Year) and José Conde of Stark-Condé Wines. Translated from the Khoisan, the language from the first people in Southern Africa, it means “deep dark shadows” and refers to the Karatara river that runs through Rüdger’s home town, near Knysna which is located in South Africa, on the Cape South Coast, facing the Indian Ocean.
Description
The Kara-Tara Chardonnay balances bright zesty citrus notes and tropical fruits with a cool minerality and saline quality, resulting in a fresh and elegant interpretation of a classic varietal. Colour: Pale straw. Aroma: Tropical fruit, orange and lime zest and butterscotch. Palate: Passionfruit, pineapple and flint. Body: Well-integrated acidity, creamy mouthfeel and a rich mineral finish.
Food Pairing
Excellent with rich flavoured fish dishes, bouillabaisse, scallops and calamari.
