This is a question for my fellow South African wine enjoyers.
I bought a bottle of Odd Bins Wooded Chardonnay (Bin no. 340, 2023) from Checkers and it was absolutely phenomenal. Has anyone else tried this specific bottle and what are your guesses as to its origin?
Available Information: Alc: 13% Origin: Elgin Nose: lime, ripe pear, buttery undertones Palate: deciduous fruit, wood spices with lively acidity
My own tasting notes: Nose: stewed pear and brioche Palate: fruit-forward with slight butterscoth and peppery notes.
My guesses are between the Paul Cluver Estate Chardonnay, the Iona Elgin Highlands Chardonnay and (most compelling) the Paul Wallace Reflections Chardonnay.
