Drostdy Hof Chardonnay 2006

This fine Chardonnay is pale green in colour with golden hues. On the nose it displays ample aromas of citrus and rich tropical fruit supported by a spicy finish. On the palate it is smooth in texture with a well integrated melding of fruit and wood.

This Chardonnay is very versatile and can be savoured on its own or served with fish, white meat and salads.

in the vineyard : (Viticulturist: Bennie Liebenberg)
The grapes were sourced from well-established, premier vineyards in the Stellenbosch, Malmesbury and Robertson areas. These trellised vines were planted between 100-250m above sea level, and in the case of Stellenbosch, face south to south-west to take advantage of maritime winds. The vineyards are not irrigated, allowing controlled water stress to limit the yield and intensify the flavour.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand at 22,5-24° Balling from mid-February to early March.

in the cellar : The wine was fermented without skin contact in stainless steel tanks, on oak chips for six months and stirred every two weeks.
