Whale Coast Chardonnay 2022
Classic Movie Pairing
The Whales of August (1987)We’d be remiss not to pair this whale-themed Chardonnay with a whale of a story. Often overlooked, this drama features late career high-points for its four beloved stars, Bette Davis, Lillian Gish, Ann Sothern and Vincent Price (it would be the final films completed by both Davis and Gish). The story of aging sisters mending their relationship during a summer in Maine is the perfect backdrop for these legends all in top form. The film pairs nicely with this elegant white with its own subtle notes and strong performance.

Wine Flavor Profile
Whale Coast is a medium- to full-bodied white wine with ripe citrus, tropical fruit and subtle vanilla oak aromas. The creamy, rounded palate has similar flavors and a long, elegant finish.
When you think of gorgeous South African white wines, you probably think of Chenin Blanc. But Whale Coast Chardonnay is an exciting new release that proves South Africa produces absolutely fantastic Chardonnay, too. It impressed judges at the Sunset International Wine Competition and won a silver medal.
Talented winemaker Pieter Carstens has over 20 years of winemaking experience and has worked for some of the country’s top wineries. He crafted this elegant Chardonnay with sustainably farmed grapes grown in the renowned Western Cape region. He named it Whale Coast in tribute to the nearby coast, which is a popular whale watching destination.
Look forward to a creamy, rounded palate, with waves of ripe citrus, tropical fruit and vanilla oak. It’s a delicious match for hearty seafood dishes, from lobster tail to seared scallops.
