Stellenrust Chardonnay 2021

This wine shows a concentrated core of orange, white peach and other ripe summer fruits. The palate is juicy and rich with a long dry finish of nectarines and almonds.

This Chardonnay will complement spicy Thai grill vegetables or even a well matured cheddar cheese on Melba toast with honey dumplings.

Chardonnay performs exceptionally well in its heritage soils in France and few other place, but making great Chardonnay in the New world, takes a lot of effort and expertise - and this is exactly what we use!

in the vineyard : Soil types vary from sandy clay to decomposed granite. The skin contact is done without any sulphur additions to allow partial oxidation of phenols contributing to orange flavour formation during fermentation - a technique known as hyperoxygenation used by winemakers on Chardonnay and Colombard.
