ageing : Enjoy this wine now or mature for 2-3 year from vintage.

in the vineyard : The Chardonnay grapes come from the Robertsvlei valley in Franschhoek. With temperatures of up to 5°C cooler than the Franschhoek valley floor,this is ideal for the cultivation of this noble variety.

in the cellar : A longer ripening period, moderate rainfall and open canopies allow the sunshine to yellow the grapesresulting in concentrated fruit flavours. The wine was matured for 11 months in 50% first fill, 30% second fill and 20% third fill 500L French oak barrels.
