Meerlust Chardonnay is a refined Stellenbosch white that beautifully reflects the estate’s cool maritime influence and meticulous winemaking. Pale gold in the glass, it opens with layered aromas of ripe citrus, white peach and nectarine, followed by subtle notes of toasted almonds, brioche and gentle oak spice. On the palate, it is poised and textured, balancing fresh acidity with a creamy mid-palate and well-integrated oak. Flavours of lemon curd, stone fruit and a touch of hazelnut carry through to a long, elegant finish with a delicate mineral edge. Barrel fermentation and maturation lend complexity without overpowering the fruit, giving the wine both immediate appeal and ageing potential. Meerlust Chardonnay is highly rated and is widely praised for its Burgundian elegance and precision. It pairs beautifully with roast chicken, grilled fish, creamy pasta dishes or seafood in butter sauces.
