The Bouchard Finlayson Crocodile's Lair Kaaimansgat Chardonnay is one of South Africa's most renowned white wines. This wood-aged Chardonnay from South Africa is outstanding value for money. In John Platter's Wine Guide, South Africa's wine bible, Angela Lloyd awards 90 points for the Bouchard Finlayson Crocodile's Lair Kaaimansgat Chardonnay in the vintage.

The bouquet is characterized by tropical notes of pineapple and lemongrass. There is also the scent of lime and crisp green apples. The bouquet is rounded off by subliminal notes of brioche and vanilla.

On the palate, this white wine from South Africa is dry, with a soft texture and great balance. The aromas are dominated by ripe, sweet tropical fruit and a noticeable acidity. Finishes with the finest roasted aromas.

The grapes for the Crocodile's Lair Kaaimansgat Chardonnay come from the Elandskloof Valley, around 80 kilometers north of the winery itself. Here, 700 meters above sea level, the Chardonnay grapes ripen later than usual in the Cape. The cool autumn temperatures characterize the exceptionally fresh and fruity, aromatic white wine.

This creation from Bouchard Finlayson matured for eight months in French oak barrels, with around an eighth of the barrels being new, as Tim James reports in his assessment.

Discover the Crocodile's Lair Kaaimansgat Chardonnay with tandoori salmon, for example with asparagus or sugar snap peas, or with an avocado and prawn salad.
