2024 Chardonnay

Sorrenberg ChardonnayOur Chardonnay is 100% barrel fermented in french oak with 25-30% of this being new oak. To add complexity to the wine all of it goes through natural yeast fermentation, as well all of it goes through complete malo-lactic fermentation. This wine received extended lees contact for ten months with weekly stirring. Then a further eight months barrel maturation. The longer time in barrel restricts this wines openness for a few months so be patient. Minimal handling and filtration ensures maximum flavour is retained.

This wine shows a lifted bouquet of white peach, nectarine with a hint of citrus which follows onto the palate. Balanced acid and seamless integration of oak create a rounded palate showing texture, minerality and a vibrant structure with a long lingering mouth feel.
