Heather Wall rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Full-bodied tropical Chardonnay from South Africa. Lots of tropical fruit, butter, lemon, passion fruit, butterscotch on the nose. The flavours on the palate are rich and coating. Lemon zest, toffee, vanilla, pineapple with a long buttered popcorn finish. Medium+ acidity and compliments the flavours nicely. Serve chilled. Pair with shrimp in lobster sauce, lobster bisque, roasted pork, pasta in cream sauce.
Tasted: April 2015

A nice tropical guava and pineapple nose with butterscotch notes on this Chardonnay from South Africa. A rich, buttery palate with banana, pineapple, citrus lemon and buttered toast. Creamy mouthfeel and a long buttered citrus finish. Tastes like more!
