We sampled this a few weeks ago and it is fantastic, in fact, I think the scores are too low, this is easily a 93+ point Chardonnay
2024 David Finlayson Chardonnay...$19.99
South African Chardonnay
“This creamy white shows pastry, nutmeg, apricots and salted almonds on the nose. It’s full-bodied with a flinty, stony freshness at the end. Sustainable. Drink now. Screw cap.”
Rated 91/100 James Suckling
“The 2024 Chardonnay is blended with 5% Chenin Blanc and aged for eight months in up to 15% new oak barrels. One of Finlayson's strongest cuvées, this has a delightful bouquet with lemon verbena, orange pith and light nectarine scents. Very well defined. The palate is well balanced with fine delineation, a pleasing mineralité here with a composed, tropical-tinged finish. Very fine.”
