Tasting Notes

Vivid and brilliant citrus-lime colour, gives way to an apples and pear aroma. Once swallowed, the restrained fruit gives way to a zesty, clean, fresh, flinty finish. Dry as a bone, this Unoaked Chardonnay is light and refreshing – the perfect solution to a scorching hot day!!

This wine will pair easily with fish, grilled asparagus with poached egg and most poultry dishes. The restraint of the mid-palate and the freshness of the finish will make short work of heavier foods too. Truly invigorating, this wine can be drunk on its own (or you may share it with a friend!).

Vinification

After sorting the grapes were de-stemmed, crushed and sent directly into the press where the juice was separated immediately from the skins and sent to a settling tank. The following day, the clear juice was racked from the gross-lees into another stainless-steel tank, where the juice was allowed to warm up slowly and a few days later, a spontaneous fermentation kicked in. Fermentation took about 18 days to be completed with the wine being inoculated with yeast towards the end of the process, just to finish off any residual Fructose.
