2022 | De Wetshof | Lesca Chardonnay

Broad and creamy on the palate, though bright, integrated acidity keeps this light- to medium-bodied and svelte overall. Offers ripe nectarine and kiwi fruit flavors, with accents of verbena, ground ginger and slate. Mouthwatering finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Year after year, this Chardonnay has always held a special place in my heart. The 2022 Lesca Chardonnay is no different. It delights and seduces with a bright, citrus-driven nose with notes of lemon oil, a hint of oak spices and a kiss of nuttiness. Medium-bodied and with 13.5% alcohol, the palate is fresh and vibrant, offering a lively minerality with hints of oatmeal that sway with a soft nutty essence before gliding to a delightfully food-friendly finish. About 60,000 bottles were produced of this delightful Chardonnay.

• James Suckling: Orange curd, papayas and almond blossom on the nose. Soft and fleshy with a full body and gentle toasty undertones. Nicely balanced.

Producer Information

De Wetshof’s wines express the uniqueness of the soils of the Estate and meticulous attention to detail, while state-of-the-art technology ensures that the work in the cellar complements the gifts of nature’s vineyards.
