"Feine Kräuterwürze, etwas Honig und frischgepflückter Apfel und Melone, dahinter geröstete Haselnüsse. Kräftig und zupackend im Ansatz, animierende fast zitrische Säure, zarte Salzigkeit im Finale. Guter Essesnbegleiter zu Fisch vom Grill."

"This barrel-fermented Chardonnay has a lively nose of apricot and melon. It's zesty, but has a balanced weight and complexity of nut and toasted oak that gives it substance. Delicious and intriguing, it will pair well with oysters and smoked seafood."

"Pleasant, slightly sweet apple and spice aromas open this straightforward, mainstream crowd-pleaser. It's medium-weight, with a slightly sappy feel and a round apple-oak flavor profile that carries nicely through the close. Uncomplicated and certainly ready to drink now."

85 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Fleur du Cap Chardonnay" from the vintage 1998 on 01.01.1999 with 85 of 100 points.
"A very capable but ultimately predictable Chardonnay made in the California style: plenty of oak on top of lemony fruit and a thick mouthfeel. Decent acidity keeps things in balance and helps highlight the lighter tropical fruit side. Tasty enough and probably best suited for by-the-glass programs."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Fleur du Cap Chardonnay" from the vintage 2001 with 85 of 100 points.
"This Chard isbarrel fermented, with battonage once a week;of the barrels were new. Snyman admits that it saw "maybe a touch too much new wood," a statement with which the panel was inclined to agree. Yellow fruit and toasty wood stand out on the palate; the nose offers nice nut and floral notes, and gets toastier with aeration. 15,000 cases produced."
