Tasting note
From the heart of the beautiful vineyards of Stellenbosch, this elegant and refined Chardonnay has expressive citrus and tropical fruit, savoury oak tones and sweet almond. Handpicked, carefully handled and fermented and matured in selected barrels, it is balanced and complex with a mineral finish.
Viticulture
Hand-harvested Chardonnay from Blocks 11 & 16 on the south-facing slopes of Sir Lowry’s Pass benefits from a strong maritime influence. Cooling False Bay breezes and marked day-night temperature shifts extend ripening while preserving acidity and salinity. Vineyards sit 250m above sea level, 7km from the ocean, on Tukulu and Oakleaf soils.
Vinification
Our V1 Chardonnay is fermented and matured in a combination of French oak, concrete eggs and clay amphorae. This method allows the wine to strike a delicate balance, preserving crisp tropical fruit flavours and refreshing minerality while embracing the added complexity from subtle oak aging.
