Protea Chardonnay 2013

Name: Protea Chardonnay 2013
Brand: Protea
SKU: 33733

A somewhat demure nose which offers up grapefruit pith and a faint hint of orange blossom. Ripe citrus and stonefruit flavours make their presence felt on a full, textured palate. It’s tangy and fresh with a distinct twist of citrus zest and some chalky grapefruit too. Lively and appealing in its approachability and drinkability. Light and lissom all the way to a long, dry finish.

in the cellar :

The grapes were de-stemmed, then pressed and fermented in 2 stainless steel tanks. One stainless steel tank contained some

French oak blocks. This was later blended with the unwooded portion, contributing a vibrant, citrus freshness to the wine. After blending, the wine was kept on the fine lees for 5 months.
