Anthonij Rupert L'Ormarins Blanc de Blancs 2016

Eye-catching string of pearl bubbles Appealing oyster shell, sea breeze and kelp aromas are tempered by subtle ripe citrus and biscuit nuances. Dry yet lively in the mouth with lime and green apple zip, oyster shell and even autumnal leaves apparent. Ripe, broad and creamy yet still taut and vibrantly crisp, this is a wine which is complex, elegant and refined, with a long tail.

in the vineyard : The Altima (Elandskloof) vineyards make up the biggest part of the vintage blend. Most of the soils in the valley which are suitable for farming are situated on steep slopes. Good decomposed shale soils, from the Malmesbury group of soils, are the predominant soils on the farm. These soils tend to have a high water- retention capacity, are high in organic matter and usually have no chemical limitation, resulting in vigorous growth. These Chardonnay vineyards trellising system is vertical shoot positioning.
