This Chardonnay has a lovely light yellow and copper glow which transforms into Layers of citrus and melon lines on the palate finishing with a citrus-lime freshness.

about the harvest: These vineyards are in mountainous terrain with a diversity of terroirs, and these are key contributors to making this a prime viticultural area. The vineyards are at altitudes above 200m and open to the fresh south-westerly summer breezes originating in False Bay. Grapes were hand
harvested in mid-February, whole bunch pressed and cold settled.

in the cellar : Natural fermentation took place in barrel and stainless steel, 60% of wine fermented in new and second fill French oak barrels. Matured for 9 months on lees with frequent batonage.
