"One of several Chardonnay producers to source grapes from Bosman's picturesque farm in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, Johan Kruger's white is crunchy, focused and refreshing, with finely judged 15% new wood, flavours of lime and lemon zest, a hint of tangerine and impressive concentration. 2025-29" – Tim Atkin MW South Africa Report 2025, 93 points
Taste profile
On the palate
Orchard blossom, lemon and a touch of vanilla introduce this Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Chardonnay. Fermentation in second- and third-fill barrels, followed by nine months' ageing, gives it a restrained oak profile. For those who prefer Chardonnay with freshness and subtle barrel character, this is worth considering.
