2022 Ferox Silver Lion Chardonnay | 91+pts

I have to agree with winemaker Fabian Reis on this one: this is a true homage to the Chablis style of Chardonnay. We often use these international references, but this unoaked Chard truly lives up to this one with it's nervy, steely, stoney and energetic expression. The nose is pure and totally Chardonnay - almost traditional method-like with a bit of almond and croissant aromas. Citrus and chamomile also support the aromatic profile. On the palate? Lime juice, lime peel, green apple, pink grapefruit. The highlight is the finish with a slight salinity and evolving, layered minerality. This is one of the most serious unoaked Chards I have tasted to date. (Carl Boucher, Sept 19, 2025).
