The Meerlust Chardonnay 2023 is defined by its measured elegance. Estate-grown fruit delivers purity, while thoughtful oak use adds texture without dominance. Lees contact builds gentle richness, yet the wine remains focused and fresh. The result is a Chardonnay that feels composed, layered and quietly confident — appealing to drinkers who appreciate restraint, structure and long-term harmony over overt opulence.
Tasting Notes
Pale gold with bright clarity. The nose is refined and layered, offering lemon zest, ripe peach and green apple, supported by hints of toasted almond, soft vanilla and wet stone. On the palate, the wine is poised and textured — citrus and stone fruit glide across a creamy mid-palate, lifted by fresh acidity. Oak is seamlessly integrated, leading to a long, clean and mineral-driven finish.
Food Pairing
This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with dishes that balance richness and finesse. It complements grilled fish, roast chicken, veal, seafood in butter or cream sauces, and mushroom-based dishes. Its freshness and texture also make it a natural partner for elegant vegetarian plates and refined coastal cuisine, where subtlety matters.
Description

It is a Chardonnay shaped by precision rather than power — confident, composed and unmistakably Meerlust in style.
