Chardonnay tasting with the Prescient Chardonnay Report 2016

Each year, a panel of esteemed judges gathers to do a blind-tasting of 60 South African Chardonnays that have fared well in local and international competitions. Enabled by the sponsorship of multinational financial services company Prescient, the wines are scored on a 100-point scale and reviewed on their taste and nose.

This year, the quality of wines excelled, with 35 (as opposed to last year’s 29) ending up with 90+ points.

You can read the full report on Winemag.co.za, or taste the best performing Chardonnays SA has to offer at the public tasting event, hosted by Winemag.co.za editor Christian Eedes, along with some of the country’s top winemakers.
