{"product_id":"cape-point-vineyards-chardonnay-2024","title":"Cape Point Vineyards Chardonnay 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003ePerched on the slopes near Chapman’s Peak with sweeping views over the Atlantic, Cape Point Vineyards occupies one of South Africa’s most dramatic cool-climate sites. The vineyards here are shaped by persistent sea breezes and mineral-rich soils, creating an environment where white varieties - especially Chardonnay - can mature slowly and retain freshness with elegant fruit texture. The 2024 Cape Point Vineyards Chardonnay is crafted to showcase this coastal influence: fruit is harvested early for vibrant acidity, then gently vinified to retain varietal clarity alongside subtle complexity from lees contact and judicious oak influence. The estate’s philosophy leans toward site expression and balance rather than heavy oak or over-extraction, resulting in a Chardonnay that feels both refreshing and thoughtful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1533\" data-end=\"1599\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1544\" data-end=\"1547\"\u003ePale straw-gold with glints of green in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1533\" data-end=\"1599\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1601\" data-end=\"1866\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"1610\" data-end=\"1613\"\u003eLifted aromas of lemon zest and green apple are joined by hints of apricot and delicate honeyed nuance.
