Peaches-and-cream with plush mineral citrus and orange blossom notes lead to opulent aromatic layers on the nose. The mouthfeel is rich in texture with a plush and mineral mid palate, rich edges and a fresh and lively acidity that leads to a smooth and creamy lengthy finish.

Specifications
In the cellar
The hand-harvested grapes were transported to the cellar. Upon arrival, they were loaded whole bunch into
the press. A whole bunch pressing cycle ensured the extraction of only the best quality juice. The juice
settled for 24hours and was then rack to 228L French oak barrels for barrel fermentation. Fermentation finished after approximately 10 days. Battonage was done every 2nd day after fermentation and before maturation. During the in-barrel maturation period of 11 months battonage was done every fortnight. Thirty percent new oak was incorporated. Malo-lactic fermentation was inhibited.
In the vineyard
The grapes originated from vineyards in the Stellenbosch Polkadraai hills area with decomposed granite soils. The vineyards have the Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP) trellis system and drip irrigation. The grapes were harvested on 1 and 2 February 2023.
Cultivar
100% Chardonnay
Food Pairing
A wine to savour on its own. Great with richer Thai and Indian curries and tuna steaks.
