Alexanderfontein Chardonnay 2010

Colour: Light yellow with green undertones.
Aroma: White peach with citrus aromas.
Flavours: Fruity with Lemon and Lime flavours.
Finish: Good balance and its acidity creates a vibrantly fresh wine.

General: On our estate the Chardonnay tends to accumulate more potassium in the skins. When the potassium is allowed to be extracted in the juice, it leads to a big drop in pH. We therefore went through the pressing process with urgency, obtaining juice that is clean, has a high natural acidity and a good pH.
