Product information "Benguela Cove Chardonnay 2016"
The Benguela Cove Chardonnay presents itself with a complex and incredibly generous structure, underpinned by a clearly defined acidity. The core of this delicious Chardonnay unfolds juicy tangerine, cashew nut, toasted bread and aromas of white peach, underpinned by flint minerality and very precise acidity. On the creamy palate, juicy red apple and nougat notes are complemented by nuances of cookie-like oak. A first-class "Cool Climate" wine, which will develop wonderfully with time.

This wine was made from two different Chardonnay clones that fermented and matured separately for 10 months. 80% were fermented with local yeast cultures to transfer the aroma and mouthfeel to the wine. The juice had extensive contact with the yeast for 150 days and was stirred regularly to add structure to the wine. The secondary malolactic fermentation was stopped. The wine was only very finely dosed wooded in order to transfer the typical buttery and hazelnut-like flavours and soft smoothness into the wine.
