Seemingly this chardonnay from Buitenverwachting (which is Afrikaans for ‘Beyond Expectation’) is hard to come by because South Africans love it and snap it up. It is certainly full bodied, powerful, big and toasty in its flavours, yet maintains balance and has a long lingering finish. If you love big Chardonnay this is one for you (especially at this price). Pairs nicely with rich fish (salmon, tuna etc.) and white meat dishes.

When you’re dealing with top quality wine, nearly all producers are either certified organic or are at least working with organic principles.The large majority will not use any pesticides or herbicides in the vineyards, or chemicals in the winery other than minimal quantities of sulphur dioxide. The truth is, most would rather spend their valuable time focussing on the contents of the bottle than on additional paperwork required for certification.
Well over 50% of all the wine in the shop is organic, but only those producers who have received official certification have the Organic Wine logo on their label.
