Anil rated this wine as 90/100

Dan Trcka Wine Blogger rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

The 2012 Fleur Du Cap Chardonnay was sourced from vineyards in the Stellenbosch, Somerset West,
Malmesbury, Elgin and Robertson areas and was then fermented and aged in barrels or staves from French and American Oaks. The attractive aromas are of lees, lemon, zest and green apple on the nose and apple together with subtle coconut and vanilla on the palate. It is a light to medium bodied, extra-dry, fruity wine; with crisp acidity and a creamy finish of medium length. This refreshing wine is a food friendly or can be enjoyed by itself; drink now to 2018 (screw cap enclosure). My impression: NICE, 87-88 pts. Tasted in Apr/14.
