Tasting Notes
An appealing citrus and hint of lime nose with a generous palate of marmalade and preserved ginger. Its full flavours and good length with a lively acid structure makes this an ideal food wine.
Food Suggestions
An ideal food partner, especially with Asian and Fusion cuisine.

About The Harvest
We selected our grapes and vineyard blocks especially to make this style of wine. We harvested a little bit earlier to capture more fruit and acid freshness.
In The Cellar
We try to maintain freshness in this style of chardonnay, so therefore we work in very cold, ± 18° C, conditions during the whole crushing and skin contact period. After that we allow the wine to ferment at temperatures between 14° C - 18° C. It takes about 12 days to finish fermentation.
The wine was kept on the lees for not longer than a month and a half.
Not for sale to persons under the age of 18. Enjoy Responsibly.
