Chardonnay
Our Cape-to-Cape wines are approachable, fruit driven wines made for enjoying now and over the short term. Very little oak used; most was fermented in stainless tanks with oak staves to produce a wine with maximum fruit flavour while still having the good palate weight and richness typical of the variety. Bottling early ensures all its delicious fresh fruit flavours are retained.
COLOUR
Bright, white gold with merest hint of pale straw.
AROMA
Quite pungent with the rich, peachy and tropical fruit aromas typical of the variety. There’s a hint of butterscotch and some vanillan characters from the oak.
PALATE
Has a silky palate with good weight of mouth filling, fresh melon fruits, complemented and complexed by the light touch of oak. The wine’s upfront, sweet fruit characters are beautifully balanced by its fresh, zingy acidity; this acidity then contributing to its good palate length. A delicious, well flavoured Chardonnay for drinking now and over the next year or so.
A great match with all foods!
