CRYSTALLUM Ferrum Chardonnay 2023 (1x75cl)

Ferrum is a Chardonnay from Crystallum in South Africa, from the 2023 vintage. South African Chardonnay has quietly become one of the more interesting white wines to put on a Hong Kong table, and this sits in that camp rather than the big buttery one.

Good bottle for a dinner where you are serving steamed fish or roast chicken and want a white that holds its own, and an easy one to bring along when you are not sure what the host is cooking. Free Hong Kong delivery over HK$800, flat HK$80 below that, standard delivery 2-5 business days.

Tasting notes

Cool-climate South African Chardonnay usually shows citrus and white orchard fruit with a firm line of acidity, and typically feels taut and savoury rather than broad. Serve it cool but not ice cold so the texture has room to show.
