Merchant's description

Capensis Silene Chardonnay 2020 is a medium- to full-bodied white wine from the Stellenbosch region of South Africa. One of the finest producers of premium Chardonnays on the Western Cape, Capensis produces its Silene cuvée from two mountainside sites. the estate Fijnbosch vineyard and the neighbouring Nooitgedacht vineyard. The 2020 is beautifully textured, offering bright, layered notes of sweet citrus, lime pie, white peach and blossoms. The wine is textured and mouth-filling, with a balance of salinity minerality on the finish.
