About the wine
Rich, creamy Chardonnay from a South African Master of Wine
- This is a showstopper white - rich, smooth and creamy, with bright fruit appeal.
- Your funding helped South African expert Richard Kershaw showcase vineyards in Elgin, the country’s coolest region, where this delicate white grape grows like a charm.
- Richard is more than just a South African expert, he’s the country’s first ever Master of Wine and one of only 416 in the world. Now he’s putting that expertise into his own world-class wines exclusively for Angels!
Best before
Although you can drink this wine now, I would decant or allow it to breathe before serving.
Serving advice
To get the most out of this wine, I would suggest using wide-bowled glasses with a reasonable curvature. Serve it chilled but not too cold - 53-57ºF is ideal rather than straight from the fridge.
Food match
As this is a special wine, I would suggest upping the ante on food pairing choices. Personally, I love this with oysters, lobster (or what we call crayfish) boiled and served simply with lemon, garlic butter. You can also replace the lobster with some tiger prawns or try pasta in a clam sauce, pan-fried chicken with tarragon and cream sauce; truffle risotto or even simple bowtie pasta in a creamy wild mushroom sauce.
