Anura Chardonnay Reserve 2024
Anura Vineyards, set on the slopes of the Simonsberg between Stellenbosch and Paarl, benefits from a unique meeting of cooling maritime breezes and warm inland conditions. This balance allows Chardonnay to ripen fully while retaining freshness - a hallmark of the region.
The estate, family-owned and rooted in a philosophy of minimal interference, focuses on expressing site over manipulation. Grapes for the Anura Chardonnay Reserve 2024 are typically hand-harvested and handled with care in the cellar. Judicious oak maturation adds texture and complexity without overwhelming the fruit, reflecting a considered, modern South African approach that nods to classic Old World restraint.
Colour:
Bright straw gold with a subtle green tint, indicating both freshness and gentle oak influence.
Nose:
Ripe citrus and stone fruit lead - think lemon zest, peach and a touch of pineapple - followed by hints of toasted almond, vanilla pod and a light buttery nuance from oak ageing.
Palate:
Medium- to full-bodied with a smooth, rounded texture. The fruit profile leans toward yellow apple, nectarine and citrus, supported by well-integrated oak that adds creaminess without heaviness. Fresh acidity keeps the wine focused and prevents it from feeling overly rich.
Finish:
Clean and lingering, with citrus peel and a soft, nutty echo from the oak.
- Food Pairing : The Anura Chardonnay Reserve 2024’s balance of freshness and gentle oak makes it a versatile partner at the table. It works particularly well with roast chicken or chicken schnitzel, where the wine’s acidity cuts through richness while its texture complements the dish. Creamy seafood such as prawn pasta or line fish with a beurre blanc sauce pairs beautifully, as the wine mirrors the dish’s weight without overpowering it. For something simpler, try it with a mature cheddar or a butternut and sage risotto - both echo the wine’s subtle nuttiness and round palate.
