The Golden Kaan Private Collection Chardonnay has already been highly acknowledged with numerous international awards. Most recently it was awarded a gold medal at Veritas, one of South Africa’s premier wine awards. The 2009 edition of the John Platter Guide contains a resounding recommendation.

The Golden Kaan Private Collection Chardonnay is an elegant wine with creamy texture, which holds its fruitiness through to the finish, ending on a clean, crisp note. It embodies ripe fruit and oak flavours which are integrating well with complex citrus, pear, peach and woody flavours that add depth and dimension.
