What wine is best from South Africa?
The country grows a range of grapes but is best known for Chenin blanc, cabernet sauvignon, and the popular pinotage, which is South Africa’s national grape and a cross between pinot noir and cinsault.
How do you pick a good Chardonnay?
Look for tasting descriptors that indicate no oak including lean, mineral, fresh, white flowers, and citrus blossom.
Most unoaked Chardonnay should be drunk young, although there are several examples (particularly in Chablis) that will age a decade or more.
Which Chardonnay is sweeter?
Chardonnay that has been oaked will express warmer, creamier notes of butter, vanilla, pineapple, papaya, coconut, or baking spice.
These notes can make the wine appear sweeter, and many people who think Chardonnay is sweet have only tried heavily-oaked versions.
