The Swartland region of South Africa is a rugged place of untamed beauty and unique, distinctive terroir. From low-yielding vines, Lexicon Chardonnay is made in a rich, full-bodied style. Intense aromas of ripe apples, lime and pears with hints of tropical fruit are beautifully enhanced by subtle tones of well-integrated oak. The bright fruit is balanced by fresh acidity and a lingering finish.
Delicious with poultry or fish in creamy sauce.
"Here’s a top-notch affordable chardonnay with just enough toasty oak to lift the orchard flavors of apples and pears, with a hint of citrus curd, and carry them through to a long, satisfying finish - Dave McIntyre"
- The Washington Post (July 2021)
"The 2016 Chardonnay comes from throughout California and was brought up in French oak. Soft, plump, and ready to go, yet with notable purity and elegance, it has classic Chardonnay notes of apple blossom, white flowers, and spice. It’s another well-made value play from this label that’s well worth drinking."
