Tasting notes
The Lismore 2024 Chardonnay is tangy and fresh, with a clear vein of acidity cutting through stone fruit and sweet apple. Angular and nicely constructed, it shows sharp lines and mineral contours, delivering precision and energy rather than breadth, with a finish that stays taut and focused.

The 2024 Chardonnay Valkyrie Cape Winemakers Guild is a barrel selection. Usually, it comes from the coolest vineyard, but this comes from the vines on the darker shale. This has a very well-defined bouquet, intense and delineated, beautifully integrated oak with an underlying mineralité that comes through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a very harmonious entry, superb weight and poise, lightly spiced with a very long and slightly viscous finish. Fabulous.
