Rustenberg Five Soldiers, Simonsberg-Stellenbosch, South Africa 2017 Charmes-Chambertin high-toned bouquet that I observedBursting with oak tones and spices that jump out of the glass along with aromas of apple, pear and white acacia flowers, the 2017 Chardonnay Five Soldiers has an impressive depth that can be sensed on the nose. Medium to full bodied, the Chardonnay shows an impressive balance with an open knit palate that delivers pleasure. This wine checks all of the boxes that I would want out of a Chardonnay, with vanilla oak tones, pear cup and lemon panna cotta,
