Restless River Ava Marie Chardonnay 2023

The Restless River “Ava Marie” Chardonnay 2023 is an elegant, cool-climate expression from the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Sourced from the estate’s oldest Chardonnay vines, it offers delicate aromas of lemon zest, white peach, and crushed stone with hints of almond and flint. The palate is beautifully balanced — layered and textured with bright acidity, subtle oak influence, and a long, mineral finish. A refined and age-worthy Chardonnay that captures the purity and restraint for which Restless River is renowned.
