Tasting Notes: This wine is typical of a classic Chardonnay, the nose is bursting with aromas of citrus, floral tones, hints of ripe peaches, pineapple, oak and a lovely, toasty nuttiness.

Good acidity and good balance between wood and fruit forms this wine's backbone.

Tasting Notes: The wine has a translucent colour with a green edge, showing prominent tropical, gooseberry and fruit salad flavours, followed by hints of grass and green pepper. A friendly fruity wine with tropical flavours and a elegant long finish.
Composition: Merlot 38%, Cabernet Sauvignon 29%, Shiraz 13%, Ruby Cabernet 12%, with Pinotage and Cinsault forming the balance.

Tasting Notes Over-delivers in the most delightful way produce of some of the many old Chenin vines that have done so much to establish Swartland's growing reputation for it is jam packed with honeyed, floral, dense and savoury character but, despite its 14% alcohol, is quite dry and refreshing enough to serve in the sort of circumstances you might serve a white burgundy.
