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

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

in the cellar : The Chardonnay was barrel fermented at low temperatures. The wine was matured on the lees for 11 months in 225l French oak barrels. Only 30% new oak was used to reach the goal of creating an elegant style Chardonnay.
