South Africa | Franschoek | Citrus Fruits, Medium Bodied, Vanilla | Chardonnay |
100% Chardonnay whole bunch pressed and naturally settled for 48 hours. Then naturally fermented in old 600 litre French oak barrels and aged in barrel for 4 months before bottling for second fermentation. The wine spent a minimum of 12 months on its lees before disgorgement. No dosage was added, thus a Brut Nature. A nose of proving sour dough with a fine bead, the palate releases notes of fresh almonds, warm sand and apricot kernel. A wonderful pre-cursor to any meal - celebrating an event or just life itself!
