Uva Mira The Mira Chardonnay 2022
R300,00
The Mira Chardonnay is produced in a gently oaked style from selected Chardonnay vineyards on the Estate. A wine with intense fruit purity and an elegant, creamy texture. Chalky and mineral on the palate, exuding elegance and finesse. Beautifully layered with freshness and complexity of flavour with succulent white peach, persimmon and quince which mingle to the finish with zesty tangerine. The first impression is one of pure and exquisite elegance. Zesty citrus and orange blossom on the nose, with cashew nuttiness and a touch of lime.

About the Wine Estate
Uva Mira translates as "The Wonderful Grape". Uva is the Latin word for grape, Mira means wonderful, miraculous and full of charm. The Uva Mira Mountain Vineyards, as high as 620 metres above sea level on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountain Range, nestle against the Helderberg Nature Reserve. With breathtaking views of False Bay and Table Bay, often wrapped in clouds, a cool climate, sea breezes, a granite foundation and strong minerality of the soil, enhanced by acres of fynbos.... nature does her work.
