Description

Kinkel, meaning ‘a twist’ in Afrikaans, showcases a unique Chardonnay from Elgin vineyards. This region, known for its cool climate and ideal for fruit like apples and pears, is also perfect for this noble grape. The 2022 Kinkel is our first bottling displaying brightness, verve and minerality, highlighting Elgin’s distinct traits.

This wine, slow to unveil its allure, has a reserved nose hinting at apple blossom and stone fruit. The vibrant entry introduces citrus, leading to a tangy, chalky palate. The subtle oak adds structure, not flavour. It’s elegant, finishing with lime zest.
