Awards/Reviews

4 ½ Stars 2021 Platter’s South African Wine Guide

Majestic 19 (94 pts) has irresistible white flower, citrus & honey aromas, taut white grapefruit flavours & a mineral core. Elegant oak (20% new) adds subtle cream & vanilla. Delicious in youth, take care not to over-age.

 

91 pts Tim Atkin MW 2020

Very much in the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge style, with freshness and balance its calling cards, this 20% new wood-fermented Chardonnay is leesy and subtle, with floral elegance and real zip and palate length. La Vierge is a winery to watch under Chriso Kotze. 2021-24

91 pts Decanter 2021 World Wine Awards

Cool and restrained with kumquat, lemon rind, and a lick of grapefruit on the finish with a dusting of icing sugar.

Top 10

Matured for eight months in 500-litre barrels, 20% new. A leesy note precedes lemon, orange and oatmeal on the nose while the palate is rich and round, creamy in texture and the tangy acidity nicely integrated. This is full but balanced, the finish long and savoury.

Winemaker Notes

This offering produced from shy-bearing vineyards that are situated on Babylon Farm in the Ward of Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, Walker Bay. The wine, a clear and true reflection of the potential of the unique soils and maritime site situated in the hills above Hermanus, is released a year after vintage as a prime example of maritime influenced Chardonnay.

The profile of this wine is based on the vines planted on a variation of Shale and Clay based soils. The wine therefore expresses the zip and texture of the clay on the palate and aromatic lime, white floral and stone fruit, mineral character on the nose. Enjoy now or allow to age for maximum result and enjoyment.
