Ruitersvlei Chardonnay Wooded 2003

Crisp citrus flavours with a creamy well-balanced middle palate and slightly oaked to give a buttery finish. Easy lip-smacking drinking, but a good step beyond everyday styles.

about the harvest: With a big crop in the vineyard, we waited longer than usual for optimum ripeness. Harvested at 25º Balling in the early morning.

in the cellar : Skin contact was done for 12 hours, and because of that a wine with a lovely golden color was made. Fermented in American Oak, not over-wooded at all.
