Description
Elegant and expressive, this Stellenbosch Chardonnay opens with vibrant aromas of crisp green apple, white peach, and delicate pear. Bright notes of lemongrass lift the palate, while extended lees contact adds a silky, creamy texture and refined minerality. Subtle oak aging brings gentle spice and balance, creating a wine that’s both fresh and layered. Enjoy it with oysters and cucumber-lime granita, grilled asparagus with lemon zest and parmesan, or seared scallops in citrus butter.
Hand-harvested from high-altitude Stellenbosch vineyards, our Sauvignon Blanc grapes were gently crushed and left on the skins for six hours to extract depth and aroma. Fermentation at 12–14°C over 10 days preserved the wine’s vibrant freshness. Only the free-run juice was used, ensuring purity of fruit and a crisp, mineral-driven finish that truly reflects our Jonkershoek Valley terroir.
