Named after the first owner of Vrede en Lust’s eldest daughter, Marguerite de Savoye, this wine is just as flamboyant as she was.

in the vineyard :

Sourced from a selection of Chardonnay blocks in the Simonsberg-Paarl vineyards – only limited quantities of this wine is produced.

about the harvest: The grapes are all hand harvested early in die morning during February.

in the cellar :

The grapes are crushed and pressed. The juice are transported to French oak barrels (25% new) and inoculated with specific yeast strains. Malolactic fermentation takes place in the barrel. The wine was matured on the lees for 11 months and bottled. Only 25% new oak was used in order to reach the goal of creating an elegant style Chardonnay.

The grapes are either whole-bunch pressed or berry sorted after which the juice are barrel fermented. The result is a vivid, complex, fruitforward Chardonnay with gentle oak intervention on the elegant palate.
