Crystallum The Agnes Chardonnay 2019

Crystallum are third generation Walker Bay winemakers who are famous for crafting world renowned chardonnay and pinot noir.  They describe ‘The Agnes’, named after their great grandmother as “sturdy in build and character”. The grapes are grown on a few of their sites, all adding a little something to what is a very smart wine. It’s fermented and aged in oak (10% new) and the resulting wine has the complexity of the sites and the grace of the careful handling. 

There is fruit-intensity and tropical notes, backed with rich butterscotch, but balanced by citric acidity and a wonderful mouth-filling texture. If you like a detailed chardonnay that you can discover over an evening, as the wine warms and opens up to show off layers and layers of intricacies - this is the one for you.
