Product Notes

Thelema Sutherland Chardonnay is a sumptuously round and creamy South African wine, demonstrating an impressive depth of flavour. It boasts subtle notes of citrus and tropical fruits beautifully balanced with mild oak undertones, thereby imparting an unpretentious complexity. The palate is graced with elegant acidity and a robust, full-bodied structure that leaves a pleasing, long-lasting aftertaste. This Chardonnay is not only fantastic value, but it also offers a consistent and unashamedly sophisticated drinking experience, making it an absolute crowd-pleaser, perfectly suited for both casual and formal occasions. Ideal to pair with white meat dishes, rich seafood, or creamy pasta.

Tasting Notes

Cream, butter and vanilla in the mouth and citrus on the nose, with a touch of iodine keeping things interesting.
