Tasting notes
The 2021 Chardonnay Wild Bee is spicy in the glass, wafting up with a blend of wild herbs, cardamon and ginger-spiked green apples. This is decidedly savory with a zesty core of brisk acidity and saline minerals, adding tension as tart orchard fruits cascade throughout. This finishes with medium length, leaving a lovely inner sweetness and lingering salty flourish.

Full bottle 1,360 g. A blend of the seven vineyards that Big Table Farm works with. Unfined and unfiltered. 1,133 cases produced. Pale lemon in colour. Am I being influenced by the name? The nose is like spearmint and whipped honeycomb with ripe peaches. The palate is broad and waxy with elevated acidity that carries a lengthy finish. Oak lends a vanilla-toast character and grip to the lightly phenolic finish. GV ! (SCJ)
