The Cap Maritime Chardonnay from Boekenhoutskloof has beautiful aromas of oak, citrus, ripe yellow fruit, mandarin peel, melon and a light spiciness. The wine is medium to full bodied on the palate and there is a nice balance between ripeness and freshness and you can taste green apple, citrus fruit and a tingling saltiness. It ends with a pleasant long finish. It is a very well made Chardonnay in a South African Cool climate which will not look out of place in a Burgundy blind tasting. 90/100 Parker and only 4,500 bottles were made of this Burgundy from Heaven and Earth
