This wine
was shown blind to me at a dinner party, for the whole duration of the meal I
was under impression I was firmly tasting and enjoying a very fine Hemel-en-Aarde
or Elgin for that matter, a top notch Chardonnay, only at dessert time, when
label was revealed I realized where it came from, not surprising considering
their Mentors range, but between the Classic Collection and the Reserve
Collection for a mere +/- R 70 more, this is a cracker wine, significantly better that the 2010 and lower in alcohol, great at the table
and way over delivers on it’s price point, seek it out, you will not be
disappointed.
