Vriesenhof Barrel-fermented Chardonnay 2023

Vriesenhof Barrel-fermented Chardonnay 2023

R250,00

Fresh, vibrant yellow gold in appearance, suggesting energy and richness.

Aromas of citrus blossom, heady summer flowers and subtle wood spice are offset by biscuit-like savoury notes.

The palate wraps flavours of creamy lees, citrus acidity and barrel maturation notes into enticing layers of complexity. Succulent stone fruit flavours linger on a well-balanced, persistent finish.
