Description
The Wetshof Limestone Hill Chardonnay is a case of 6 bottles made from grapes grown in heavy clay soils with high limestone content. This allows for a strong expression of the Chardonnay varietal with a complex flavor profile. The wine is not aged in oak, resulting in notes of grapefruit and nuts, balanced by a delicate ripeness. American critic Robert Parker praises the wine for its pure and refreshing fruit flavors, rich texture, and long finish. He also notes that it has better balance and finesse than most Chardonnays he has tasted. The bottle size is 750ml.
Heavy clay soils rich in limestone allow this Chardonnay to emit optimum varietal expression in a cloak of rich complexity. An un-wooded wine, Limestone Hill has notes of grapefruit and nuts, with the complexity balanced by a nuanced elegance ending with a delicate ripeness.
The American critic Robert Parker describes this wine as such: The De Wetshof Estate Limestone Hill Chardonnay never sees oak, and offers impeccably pure, refreshing apple, peach and lemon fruit, a lovely leesy richness of texture, and a nutty, chalky, fruit-filled finish of imposing length. Understated and less tropical than some of the better un-oaked Chardonnays, this wine possesses far better balance and sheer drinkability not to mention more finesse than 99% of the worlds Chardonnay I have experienced.
