Reserve Chardonnay 2018 Magnum 1500ml

“Restrained creamed corn and baked yellow apple aromatics. The palate is super juicy, plush and expressive with lots of well-judged sweet vanilla oak and tangy citrus fruit. Very good now and on the way to being better.” – Decanter

Awarded 95 points and a Gold Medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards, DeMorgenzon’s Reserve Chardonnay is a phenomenal wine, and even more so in a glorious magnum.

This show-stopping white displays tones of toasted brioche spread with tangy marmalade, lime, lemongrass, honeysuckle and warm frangipane with vanilla ice cream. As Decanter alluded to, it’s ageing gracefully with every additional year in this larger format bottle. So, under no circumstances should anyone miss out on the opportunity to taste DeMorgenzon’s Reserve Chardonnay 2018 from magnum.

It’s no secret that we love DeMorgenzon, they make our own Chenin Blanc. The name means ‘morning sun’, because it’s the first winery in Stellenbosch to receive the sun each day because of its high altitude and steep slopes. Their vineyards are full of wildflowers, giving the estate the feel of botanic garden than a working farm. DeMorgenzon also play baroque and early classical music to their growing vines, as they enjoy it themselves and numerous studies have suggested that it can help fruit production and root growth. Their super talented winemaker Carl van der Merwe brings bags of experience to the team, including a stint at Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. This is a standout winery that does things a little differently.
