Goedverwacht, J & G Chardonnay, Robertson, 2018
Goedverwacht translates from Afrikaans as "good hope".This Chardonnay is made by father Jan Du Toit in collaboration with son Gawie, hence the J & G name on their superior range. It’s a small batch - just 9 barrels, so 6600 bottles - of Chardonnay aged in barrel for nine months. It well reflects the benefits of careful matching of variety to soil type, largely clay with underlying limestone.
Lightly oaked, creamy example. Offering a ripe gush of melon and tangerine, this is generously flavoured, lightly buttery Chardonnay. Plenty of volume – and decent length. Bring on butter chicken or spicy seafood. Now-2022
