Bellingham Pandemonium Wild Peacock Chardonnay 2024

She makes her entrance with flair - a burst of lime and orange zest, a flutter of orange blossom and the soft allure of white and yello w stone fruit wrapped in a whisper of sweet oak spice. Hints of minerality add a touch of sophistication to her perfume. On the palate, she’s bright and refreshing, all crisp citrus, juicy pear and sunlit stone fruit, carried by mouth-watering acidity and a lingering mineral finish that leaves you wanting a n encore.

She’s in her element alongside creamy pastas, golden pizzas fresh from the oven, or buttery seafood that melts at the first bite.

This leading lady is the hostess with the mostest. Zesty, zany and utterly unforgettable, this Chardonnay will transport you to fabulous and wondrously otherworldly times and places.

in the vineyard : She may love the spotlight, but this leading lady knows her roots. Grown in one of South Africa’s coolest wine regions, Durbanville’s ocean-kissed vineyards wrap her in mist and melody from the Atlantic breeze. Dryland farmed on decomposed granite rich in clay, she draws depth and drama from the earth itself - giving rise to fruit that’s as complex, textured and captivating as her charm.

in the cellar : Ever the early riser, she’s hand-picked at dawn and whole-bunch pressed before the world truly wakes. The juice is treated oxidatively - a little beauty prep to polish away the rough edges and reveal her best self. Fermentation unfolds like a perfectly balanced soirée: 12% in older foudres for poise, 14% in new French oak for glamour, 14% in se cond-fill barrels for finesse, and the remaining 60% in seasoned barrels to let her bright, fruit-forward personality shine.
