Score 96/100 · Drink 2025-2040, Neal Martin, Aug 2024
The 2023 Chardonnay Valkyrie Cape Winemakers Guild is a barrel selection from the coolest site on the estate. This has a very intense and rich nose, with light honeysuckle and beeswax scents and countervailing stoniness that keeps this focused. The palate is beautifully concentrated (more so than O'Keefe's estate cuvées) and lightly spiced, culminating in a persistent finish that lingers in the mouth. I would keep this back for two or three years.
