TASTING NOTES
100% Chardonnay
A precise and linear expression of Chardonnay from five sites. The nose shows pineapple, light butterscotch, oatmeal and lemon peel while the palate is zippy and textured - lime, quince and forelle pear the leading flavours. A Chablis-like oyster shell minerality refines the finish.
Sourced from select vineyards in the Hemel-en-Aarde and Overberg regions. Produced using the traditional method of transferring the whole grape clusters straight from harvesting into the press and running the juice off into a settling tank. Fermented and aged in 228, 500-litre French oak barrels as well as in foudres. Naturally fermented in barrel, where it remains for 9 months before bottling. No SO2 or enzymes are added prior to fermentation.
