Estate Grown Chardonnay

TASTING NOTES

Lifted blossom florals and white stone fruit. Lovely minerality. The palate has lovely generosity on the front palate, well integrated oak that leads into an elegant soft and focused palate. There is a complex textured component which plays beautifully with the acid to create a delightful and charming Chardonnay.

PAIRING

Abalone, lobster and prawns find the perfect matching on this Chardonnay’s minerality and flavor.

Vinification

The fruit is lightly pressed into stainless steel tanks and allowed to settle for 24 hours. The juice is then racked off its heavy lees to 500 liter French puncheons for wild yeast fermentation. Some barrel stirring through fermentation and post fermentation occurred resulting in a wine with complexity and individuality. The wine was transferred out of barrel after 10 months on lees before being bottled. Minimal sulphur additions made prior to bottling.
