Winemaking notes
Harvested at night, the chardonnay was crushed and pressed and the resultant juice was clarified. Fermentation was conducted in stainless steel tanks using a select yeast strain. Light use of oak has added creaminess and vanillin, giving the wine more depth and weight.
Viticultural notes
Chardonnay is the world's favourite grape variety with its long popularity stemming from its versatility. As a variety it takes well to oak or can produce unwooded fruit styles which, depending on the wine can be drunk while young or develops further with age. It's versatility also extends to food matching which makes it a great accompaniment to most meals.
Tasting notes
Colour: Pale Golden
Aroma: Fresh lemon and tropical aromas are a feature of this wine, nicely complemented with a touch of honey.
Palate: A ripe, round wine brimming with bright lemon and tropical fruit flavours. With a soft, smooth creamy palate the flavours integrate nicely in the mouth and result in a lingering clean finish.
Pairing notes
A versatile wine which makes a great accompaniment to most food, in particular cream based pasta and succulent roast chicken dishes.
