Bouchard Finlayson Limited Edition Kaaimansgat Chardonnay 2004

International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) 2006 - Silver Best in Class
A Limited Edition wine is about moving away from standardisation. This Chardonnay is an unusual tweak where the blend functions through marrying two opposite styles of wine. This was a small bottling of 370 cases. A wine for maturation which should peak at four to five years. Elegantly tight, fresh lively citric nose, rich, juicy, concentrated, underlining mineralogy, persistent, classic style with considerable elegance.

in the vineyard : The origin of these grapes stem from the uniquely located Kaaimansgat vineyard which is a hidden site where the Chardonnay grapes ripen amongst the latest in the Cape! One of the reasons for this late ripening is the fact that this valley behind the village of Villiersdorp is impacted by parallel mountain ranges which reduce the length of the diurnal.
