Chardonnay 100%
Benede-Duivenshokrivier WO

Sourced from the Lower Duivenshokriver ward in the Cape South Coast, this Chardonnay comes from vineyards with limestone soils just 10 kilometers from the ocean. The grapes were partially whole-bunch pressed and naturally fermented in a mix of new, second, and third-fill French oak barrels, where the wine aged for 10 months.

“Fermented and matured for 10 months in barrel, 35% new. The nose shows a particular herbal top note before pear, peach, citrus, oatmeal and a hint of reduction. Good fruit expression and bright acidity and pithy finish. Full MLF for the first time lends extra dimension over previous vintages. 93/100”

Description
Additional information

Situated on the south coast, near Vermaaklikheid, east of Cape Agulhus. Unusually for South Africa, there is a combination of cool climate and limestone soils.

Limestone soils, cool mean ripening temperatures and only 10km from the ocean – creates a beautiful, mineral Chardonnay. The grapes were harvested in the 3rd week of Feb, partly whole bunch pressed and partly crushed, fermented naturally in partly new, 2nd and 3rd fill French oak barrels. A point of difference in this wine is that it didn’t go through malolactic fermentation – ensuring the beautiful natural acidity present in the wine. Bottled after 11 months in oak.
