✨ In the Glass
Pale lemon-gold with glints of green—radiant and refined.

👃 On the Nose
A captivating bouquet of lemon curd, white peach, flint, and struck match. Subtle notes of chamomile, wet stone, and toasted almond give depth and sophistication.

💫 On the Palate
Tense, mineral-driven, and beautifully textured. Citrus and orchard fruits unfold over a core of saline minerality and vibrant acidity. Oak is seamlessly integrated, lending creamy weight without overpowering. The finish is long, precise, and savoury.

🍽️ Food Pairing
A dream with lobster, seared scallops, grilled monkfish, or creamy mushroom risotto. Also shines alongside roast chicken with tarragon or aged Comté.

⏳ Ageing Potential
Excellent structure for cellaring—drink now or evolve gracefully for 8–10 years.

🌟 Why You’ll Love It
Clay Shales is not just a standout South African Chardonnay—it’s a world-class white that rivals the greats of Burgundy. Precision, power, and poise in every drop.
