This has a very composed bouquet that takes a little encouragement: lime, Golden Delicious and hints of melted wax coming through with time. The palate is well balanced with an appealing, slightly creamy texture. The oak here is nicely judged, leading to a linear, surprisingly strict finish. Very fine. - By\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNeal Martin\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eon\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAugust 2024\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Global Wines-Maryland (Noah and Narayan)","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":47916702597283,"sku":"CapensisChard20","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/4104\/0803\/files\/WesternCape.png?v=1784730369","url":"https:\/\/cellar.com\/products\/capensis-chardonnay-western-cape-2020-750ml","provider":"Cellar.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
