ACCOLADES

97 Decanter
"This wine is perennially one of the best
Chardonnays in the region, a select blend
from the finest barrels each vintage, with lots
varying from year to year, bearing the family
name Casteel. Aromatics of chipped flint,
smoky grilled lemon wedge and sweet spiced
notes of candied ginger leap forth. The palate
is intensely coiled, electric minerality, crushed
slate, briny notes of seaspray and savoury
edges framed by lemon beebalm and verbena.
The finish is long, contemplative. This is a
wine to age for a decade before its full
potential will be realised."
Clive Pursehouse.
