Chardonnay
ORIGIN: From selected vineyards in the prime red wine growing area of the Devon Valley near
Stellenbosch.
CLIMATE: Mediterranean – summers are warm and dry, whilst sea breezes from the nearby False Bay cool the vineyards in the afternoons. The winters are wet and cold with a high average rainfall.
VINIFICATION: The grapes are hand- harvested at optimal ripeness. They are then destalked, crushed, and pressed.
Thereafter the wine is inoculated with a selected yeast strain.
Fermentation and maturation take place in French oak barrels on the fine lees for a total of 3 months. After
fermentation, the wine is filtered and bottled.
TASTING NOTES: This lightly oaked chardonnay was in wood for only 3 months. The subtle hint of combined French
and American oak allow the citrus flavours to stand out with hints of vanilla. Ready to be enjoyed now or in a year’s
time.
