Lovely pale straw colour. Nose distinctly fresh with hints of peach and lime with a gentle oak influence. The palate has a good weight with some minerality and a long finish. Excellent balance between fruit and oak flavours.

More Information

In the cellar

The soil is comprised of red clay (Hutton) as well as large granite deposits. Clay adds structure to the wine, while the granite produces great minerality and finesse.

In the vineyard

The much-needed rainfall during winter and a relatively cool summer provided ideal conditions for growth and ripening. An outstanding vintage for white grapes, no heat waves and low night temperatures together with a dry, cool summer. Juice cleaned by settling. The grapes were whole bunch pressed and barrel fermented, with bâtonnage for 3 months.

Ageing

Perfect to enjoy now, can be aged for five years in the proper conditions.

Cultivar

100% Chardonnay

Food Pairing

A great companion for Pork, tuna, roast chicken and vegetarian dishes.

About the Wine Estate

Mooiplaas Wine Estate and Private Nature Reserve boast a pristine natural beauty. Owned and managed by Tielman and Louis Roos, the Mooiplaas vineyards lie on steep slopes of ancient mineral rich soils in the Bottelary Hills of Stellenbosch, overlooking Cape Town. Mooiplaas is a historic and traditional working wine estate, bought by Nicolaas Roos in 1963. He was joined by his two sons Tielman, viticulturist, (1980) and Louis, winemaker (1983). The history of the farm dates back to 1806, with the manor house on the estate – a national monument – an impressive example of Cape Dutch architecture. In 1995 Mooiplaas established a Private Nature Reserve, dedicating 70 hectares to the conservation of endangered Fynbos species. Tielman and Louis produce a range of environmentally friendly wines rooted in tradition and artisan techniques to reflect the unique terroir.
