Nederburg’s Winemaster’s Reserve Chardonnay has been rated a Best Buy by Wine Enthusiast, one of America’s most respected and widely read wine and lifestyle magazines. Senior editor Susan Kostrzewa awarded the 2007 vintage an A score of 86 points, calling it a “friendly, New World style” wine with “flavors of toast, oak, spice and decent complexity.”
The same wine also comes in for some warm praise in national Australian daily newspaper, The Age, whose Jeni Port finds it a “pleasant surprise” and says the winemaker “deserves a slap on the back, especially for keeping the alcohols down on this little charmer to a reasonable 13.5%.”
Made from only hand-harvested grapes, the wine was partially fermented in French oak, spending about six months on the lees. Locally, the 2008 vintage of this wine is available from selected stockists countrywide and retails for around R42.
Chardonnay remains the most popular white varietal in the USA, currently the third largest consumer of imported wines worldwide in terms of volume and the second biggest in terms of spend, according to International Wine & Spirit Record research released earlier this year.
