West Cape Howe Styx Gully Chardonnay 2022 cape-mentelle black cherry and a whiffBright, light gold pale straw in colour. Quite pungent and complex on the nose with delicious cashew nut toasted sesame aromas and some lovely baked peach fruit characters. This Chardonnay has a beautiful silkiness on the palate. The texture is compelling and leads into those delicious crme brle and cashew nut flavours. It is very well integrated with the stone fruit flavours beautifully complemented by the subtle, toasty oak from the barrel
