Chardonnay

WINE DESCRIPTION
Aromas of citrus and pear are complimented by subtle tropical notes. The buttery undertones from the underlying oak completes the complex but elegant wine.

VINEYARDS
The vineyards are found in a variation in meso-climates, exposed hills, and sheltered valleys, with soils from Granite, Sandstone soils and Alluvial soils. Grapes are picked from a selection of these different wards in the Western Cape.

WINEMAKING TECHNIQUES
Cold skin maceration was carried out for six hours before the free run juice was left to ferment in stainless steel tanks with French oak staves for three weeks at 12°C. The wine was left on the gross lees where batonnage was applied for a week. It was then racked and left on the fine lees till right before bottling.

FOOD PAIRING
A good match with Butter chicken, deep fried Camembert,veal or crayfish
