The nose and palate show hints of tropical fruit and a generous touch of spice. Luscious peach and guava flavours add to the fruitiness of this elegant wine.
 
blend information
100% Chardonnay
 
in the vineyard
At Middelvlei, 21 hectares are devoted to Chardonnay, and grapes from only the best five hectares were used to make the 2009 Chardonnay. The vines, grafted onto Richter 99 rootstock, were planted in 1994. The vineyards face west and are situated at 160m above sea level.

The conditions for the healthy growth and ripening of the grapes during the growing season (September - December) were ideal. The rainfall during the winter before the vintage, as well as the growing season, was above average. The annual rainfall was 750mm for the 2010/2011 season compared to the long-term annual rainfall of 700mm.
 
about the harvest
The grapes were harvested during February 2011 at an average sugar level of 23.5° Balling. They were handpicked and placed in small baskets to prevent bruising.
 
in the cellar
In the cellar the juice received 30 minutes skin contact. 100% was tank fermented.

Bottled: May 2011
