Information about "Boschendal 1685 Chardonnay 2023"
The Boschendal 1685 Chardonnay impresses with its lively and spicy bouquet of lemon, cinnamon, and nutmeg that awakens anticipation for the first sip. On the palate, it reveals a creamy and rich texture, showcasing remarkable complexity and refined smoothness, accompanied by delightful notes of vibrant citrus and ripe stone fruits.
The Chardonnay grapes underwent fermentation with selected yeast cultures in stainless steel tanks. Before fermentation was complete, 70% of the juice was transferred into French oak barrels. The wine matured for an additional ten months on fine lees in barrels (12% new oak, 88% second-, third-, and fourth-fill barrels), with regular batonnage to enhance mouthfeel.
