Cultivar: 

100% Chardonnay.

Vintage:

2021

Winemakers Note:    

Strong citrus and tropical fruit flavours on the nose vanilla on the aftertaste. Perfume of lemon peel rises through the glass. Elegant vanilla introduces oak to the senses. On palate the wine shows great elegance and refreshing acidity with a lingering aftertaste.

Wine of origin:

Western Cape Region, South Africa.

Vinification:

Sourced from premium vineyards in the Coastal Region. The grapes are hand-harvested and pressed, then fermented in stainless steel tanks with selected yeast strains. Cold fermentation at 15⁰C ensures the formation and preservation of fruity esters. A portion of the Chardonnay was fermented with French oak to provide extra complexity and palate weight. The eventual blend is a combination of ripe fruit flavours and mellow oak nuances.

Food pairing:

Mild and creamy cheeses, pasta with pesto or cheese-based sauces, white fish 
or chicken with a buttery sauce.
