Knewitz, Reserve Chardonnay 2018 Casablanca Valley and the Riverland ain't exactlyThe wine shows slightly reductive in its youth with a subtle barrel influence laced with gentle roasted notes. These aromatics provide the framework for an intense, salty minerality and clear yet serious fruit. On the palate, the Chardonnay joins power and body with a pure, minimal elegance. This is a wine of exceptional depth and length, full bodied with clear contours.
