This always solid bottling shows a slight spritz in the glass and offers lemon zest and an alkaline, tonic-like edge to the nose. The palate is tart with lime peel and brisk acidity.

Features fresh-cut Fuji apple, ripe pear, salted melon, lime zest and hints of spices that are generous and smooth, with a note of buttery brioche lingering on the round finish. Drink now. 57,000 cases made.

The 2021 Chardonnay Kali Hart is an attractive, forward wine to drink now and over the next few years. Apricot, tangerine oil, yellow flowers and a kiss of French oak sweetness are front and center. Light tropical accents linger. This is nicely done.
