Sterhuis Chardonnay 2007
by Johan Kruger

  • 4.5 stars in its debut vintage from South Africa's Wine Magazine
  • If you want to drink Burgundy quality and you don't want to pay greedily grasping Burgundy prices, you should give this a go
  • Powerful and rich, but with a balance and elegance that makes Michelle Obama look clumsy

"I do not consider winemaking to be a job, it's a way of life. I feel really fortunate to be involved in this wonderful industry. Oh, and it's great that I don't have to wear a tie, in fact, I don't even own one! My father bought our farm in 1980 and I started working the vines with him in 1998. One the bug hit me I couldn't resist making our own wines. Following our first vintage of Chardonnay, I was awarded a Young Wine Maker of the year award, as well as 4.5 stars in Platter and Wine Magazine. I work very closely with my Dad. He's very proud of what we do with the grapes and neither of us would change what we do for the world."

Quite a heavy weight chardy in comparison to other wines I have bought on the site. Very woody, but also smooth and quite buttery. A serious wine to be drunk with intense conversation!

I am more and more impressed with wines from South Africa and in particular from the stellenbosch
region. The STERHUIS 2007 Chardonnay is wonderful, rich, fruity, creamy, oaky and definitely O.K.
