A Chardonnay true to its character. An unwooded, well-structured, full body wine. Ready to enjoy now, although aging it 3 - 5 years gives it an intriguing complexity.

International Only
in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from selected vineyards between Bonnievale and McGregor, with the unique limestone soils that our Chardonnay clones thrive in, and Simonsberg-Paarl, with its deep-decomposed granite soils, for richness and structure.
in the cellar : Grapes were whole-bunch pressed, ensuring that only the best quality juice was used for this unwooded style of Chardonnay. Fermentation was done in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation with a higher turbidity juice and using different yeast strains contributed to more diverse complex flavours. Bâtonnage was done weekly for the first three months, which allowed for greater richness in the wine.
