Colour: Straw yellow.
Bouquet and taste: Aromas of vanilla, butter and nuts that open onto a full but tightly reigned palate of lime and toasty fruit flavours.
IN THE VINEYARD
The grapes were sourced from a range of trellised, unirrigated vineyards on the cooler slopes of Durbanville and Paarl, established in deep red or yellow, well-drained soils and varying in age from 12 to 14 years at the time of harvest.
IN THE CELLAR
Free-run juice only was fermented in new 300-litre French oak barrels and kept on the lees for five months with weekly stirring. The wine was then racked and given another eight months’ maturation in the same vats before being blended.
BLEND INFORMATION
100% Chardonnay
FOOD SUGGESTIONS
The winemaker recommends serving with soup, dishes made with creamy sauces or mildly spiced.
