If you're going to teach the kids to make Chardonnay teach them to make it right. I wish I could have used the old adage, "my daddy always used to say to me ..." in front of that first sentence but in truth my daddy was not much into wine, Chardonnay especially, he was a Riesling man (now he drinks whatever my mother puts in front of him - that's if she feels like sharing). But the saying does go well with a teaching winery. Head winemaker Terence Von Rooyen has done a wonderful job on this Chardonnay, keeping the fruit and the buttery in the mouth and on the nose. Aromas of baked peach and vanilla are caressed in a light buttery blanket ... too flowery? Not in the mouth, butter and vanilla mix along with the peach and spice leading to nice biting acidity and pleasant re-play on a lingering finish. Well balanced, should stand up for a number of years. Drink now - 2018. Price: $18.95 - Rating: ****
