David Finlayson Chardonnay 2024
Nestled in the iconic Stellenbosch region of South Africa, David Finlayson Wines crafts wines that reflect a deep respect for their vineyard sites and the stories they tell. Founder and winemaker David Finlayson draws on decades of experience - including formative time in Bordeaux - but his heart lies in expressing South African terroir with clarity and balance. The chardonnay vineyards grow on Malmesbury shale and deep red clay soils, terraced and nurtured to harness cool breezes off False Bay, giving the grapes a naturally vibrant acidity and mineral energy. Hand-harvesting, thoughtful oak integration and gentle cellar practices allow the siteâs character - citrus, florals and subtle savoury complexity - to shine through.
Â
Colour: Pale golden straw with a hint of green glint, clear and fresh in the glass.
Â
Nose: A poised aromatic profile with lime and citrus zest at the forefront, intertwined with sourdough, frangipani and delicate almond blossom, leading to warmer spice notes like cinnamon.
Â
Palate: Medium-bodied with a lively core of citrus and orchard fruit, underpinned by a firm mineral backbone and crisp acidity. The subtle influence of oak and gentle malolactic fermentation delivers a creamy texture without overwhelming the fruit, keeping the wine elegant and focused.
Â
Finish: Clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus pith and a hint of savoury spice that invites another sip.

- Food Pairing : David Finlayson Chardonnay 2024âs bright acidity and subtle oak nuance make it a versatile partner at the table. Enjoy it with a creamy seafood linguine to echo the wineâs citrus brightness, or with grilled lemon chicken and a fresh herb salsa for complementary zest. For something heartier, roast pork loin with a light mustard cream sauce highlights the wineâs gently rounded texture, while a vibrant green salad with goatâs cheese provides a refreshing contrast that cuts through the wineâs richness.
