Iona Single Vineyard Kloof Chardonnay

PRICE PER BOX OF 6

The wine from the Kloof Vineyard is totally unique to South Africa. Pure fruit (soft white pear and bright limey citrus), razor-sharp acidity and well-judged oak result in a wine that is precise, intricate yet layered, focussed and fine with significant ageing potential. It has beautiful oyster shell minerality, a slight saline note, a long finish and good weight on the back palate.

“Two Vineyards called Kloof and Kroon. Both differ markedly from each other, suggesting that the term “terroir” is meaningful in this context. One is palpably “earthier”, while the other as an almost crystalline purity. They are likely to cement Elgins and Iona’s reputation for the so-called heartbreak grape and add to the growing fascination with single-site wines.”
