Natalie's Score: 92/100

Cathedral Cellar 2022 Chardonnay from KWV is a bold and expressive white, showcasing the richness of the Western Cape’s terroir. Crafted from grapes sourced across Stellenbosch, Swartland, and Wellington, this full-bodied Chardonnay delivers layers of ripe peach, vibrant tropical fruit, and bright citrus zest. Subtle vanilla and oak spice are seamlessly integrated, complementing its creamy, extended finish. A fantastic value and a great pairing alongside pork filet au gratin with green herbs or raspberry braised partridge, it’s equally rewarding now or for cellaring through 2028.

Chardonnay food pairings: raspberry braised partridge, pork filet au gratin with green herbs, grilled chicken breast with cranberry and red currant sauce.

Remarkable Roast Chicken Wine

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
