Nederburg Manor House Chardonnay 2021

Fruit-driven with a lovely balance between fruit and acid. The wood adds to the fullness without dominating the wine. A beautiful balance between sweetness and acidity is complemented by a lingering finish.

Delicious with fresh fish and seafood, poultry or veal dishes, and creamy pastas.

Nederburg is one of South Africa’s leading wineries, with a prize-winning pedigree that stems from a culture of innovation and disciplined attention to detail. The wines are richly fruited with elegant, fresh flavours and structure, and range from exclusive, micro-edition offerings for the connoisseur to wines styled for everyday enjoyment.

in the vineyard : Grapes were sourced from four top-performing vineyard sites, situated in the Stellenbosch region, including Stellenbosch Kloof, Bottelary and Devon Valley, with the fourth located in the cool climate of Philadelphia where the cold air from the Atlantic contributes to the slow ripening of grapes and a greater natural acidity.

in the cellar : The fruit was harvested by hand at 23º to 24º Balling during February and March. The grapes from the four distinct vineyard blocks were handled separately in the cellar. Each of the four fruit parcels were treated individually in terms of yeasts and yeast nutrients during fermentation as well as barrel selection (300- and 500-litres, new and older barrels). This approach provided the winemakers with a wide range of building blocks to work with in cra9ing the eventual wine, that spent some q months in oak. The process started with approximately four times the volume re%uired for bottling, affording the winemaking team the chance for rigorous barrel selection before final blending and bottling.
