“Lemon plus hints of oatmeal, vanilla and reduction on the nose. The palate is composed – neither too powerful, nor too taut – with excellent fruit concentration and bright acidity. A light creamy texture and a gently savoury finish add to the wine’s sense of completeness.”

VINIFICATION & VITICULTURAL DETAILS
The grapes were sourced from two sites. The first, comprising 80%, a 22-year-old trellised Chardonnay vineyard, clone CY548 planted on Summercourt Farm, on the Simonsberg Mountain at 400m altitude. The second is a 12-year-old trellised Chardonnay vineyard, clone CY277 in the Firgrove region of Helderberg. Both clones are from France. The grapes were handpicked, hand sorted and gently whole bunch pressed. The juice was settled overnight at 10 degrees. It then went to barrel for natural fermentation in 100% old French oak barrels (225l and 300l) followed by natural malolactic fermentation. As little bâtonnage as possible. 10 months total in oak.
