David Finlayson Chardonnay 2024

Tasting Notes

This is the seventeenth vintage of our Chardonnay. The wine is made from six different vineyards. As with previous vintages, the wine shows an elegant minerality with lime-citrus, sourdough and cinnamon flavours. The tight minerality keeps a wonderful acid grip on the palate showing good aging potential. A floral note of wild, white flowers such as frangipani and almond blossom is obvious on the front of the nose and follows through the palate.

Awards/Reviews

4 ½ Stars 2026 John Platter’s South African Wine Guide
Staggered picks of 6 blocks in 24 (91 pts) ensure rich flavor spectrum: white pear, brioche, nougat, while retaining vibrant acidity & poise. Part natural ferment in mostly older barrels, plus partial malo add to both freshness & creaminess. As delicious & inviting as previous.

Winemaker Notes

Barrel fermented with partial pure yeast strain inoculation and some with natural yeasts. A 30 % portion was allowed to go through malolactic fermentation. The wine was stirred twice during “elevage” in barrel to create a creamy, harmonious blend between wood and grape flavours. Fined with bentonite and vegecol making this wine vegan-friendly Crossflow filtered and bottled under screwcap to ensure quality.
