Bateleur

2007 Robertson Chardonnay

The De Wetshof Bateleur Chardonnay from the esteemed Robertson region showcases a delightful expression of this noble varietal. This vintage exhibits a full-bodied character, coupled with impressive high acidity that brings a refreshing brightness to the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of ripe stone fruit, including peach and apricot, along with hints of citrus and a touch of minerality. The wine is exquisitely balanced, gliding smoothly across the tongue, while its well-integrated oak adds a layer of complexity without overshadowing the vibrant fruit. As a truly dry wine, the De Wetshof Bateleur stands out as an exceptional choice for those seeking a sophisticated and mouthwatering Chardonnay that perfectly captures the essence of its terroir.
