As part of the Jackson Family portfolio, Capensis has since 2013 been producing exceptionally high quality, terroir-driven Chardonnay from some of the highest-elevation vineyards in the Western Cape of South Africa. The 2015 is cool and elegant on the nose with wafts of Meyer lemon, tangy green apple and subtle toasty oak aromas. The palate is pure and crystalline with expressive notes of spiced pear and lemon, a delicate textural richness and a long, saline-tinged finish.

The 2015 Capensis comes from the Jackson family of Verité fame and debuted with great fanfare a couple of years ago. This latest release was matured for 10 months in 100% French oak, 41% of it new. It has a well-defined bouquet with finely integrated oak; scents of honeysuckle, beeswax and dried pineapple blossom in the glass over two hours. The palate is well balanced, the oak neatly integrated with a slightly nutty, creamy, orange-peel-tinged finish that feels reassuringly long. I get the feeling this is a more toned-down Capensis compared to its previous releases, and restraint suits it well. The only caveat is the price and the stiff competition from high-performing South African Chardonnays. Neal Martin1st August 2018
