This Chardonnay offers a bouquet of citrus aromas. The palate features mild peach and lime flavors, followed by a touch of mandarin. It’s a good choice for light bites.

Typical but casual but satisfying imbibing guaranteed by 24 (84 pts)’s restrained wooding, just half the wine was seasoned in cask, giving lemon cream biscuit whiff, creamy texture.
The grapes were sourced from select vineyard sites in Bonnievale and Paarl-Paardeberg, with vines ranging from 15-30 years old. The limestone and decomposed shale soils of Bonnievale yield wines of great acidity which combine zesty citrus and yellow fruit flavors with a flinty character. The Paarl-Paardeberg, component comes from soils of weathered granite, bringing a lusher profile with tropical fruit flavors.
The grapes were picked in the cool early morning hours. They were de-stemmed and gently pressed with the juice settling overnight. Most of the wine was cold fermented in stainless steel tanks to create a bright, fruit-driven final product. A small portion (roughly 2%) was fermented in new 225 liter French oak barrels, with weekly batonnage. The wine was aged on its fine lees for several months to develop further in complexity.
