Muratie's Isabella Chardonnay is luscious, with
white peaches, citrus and gentle caramel, and a nice clean, dry finish. The new
fermenting juice we tasted from this year's harvest has fresh nectarines &
apricots in abundance, with a hint of pine nuts. It points to another lovely
wine from the 2017 harvest
Winemaker Hattingh de Villiers showed us the new
wine fermenting in the cellar. It sells for R145 on the farm or on line, and is
also available at good wine retailers. It is drinking well now but, if you can
keep it for a couple of years, it is bound to become even better. Platter
awarded this vintage 4½ stars
