Information about "Boschendal Appelation Series Elgin Chardonnay 2023"

A masterpiece from the Elgin terroir, shining in every sip!

The Boschendal Appellation Series Elgin Chardonnay 2023 presents a brilliant golden hue with a subtle green tint. Aromas of grapefruit and ripe nectarines burst from the glass, intertwined with floral notes of citrus blossom and fragrant frangipani. The ripe fruit is complemented by the region's characteristic minerality, enriched by delicate hints of white truffle and vanilla oak spice. On the palate, this wine is both complex and powerful, boasting a refreshing cool climate acidity that accentuates the bright purity of citrus fruits. The mineral finish is remarkably long and intense.

Treatment in the cellar Grapes were whole-bunch pressed to retrieve only the purest of the juice. The wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation. Natural fermentation was encouraged, and the fermenting must was transferred into selected French oak barrels. Half of the fermentation was done naturally and then a strong strain of selected yeast was added to ensure a complete fermentation. Still on its primary lees, the wine was matured for a further 11 months. During this time, batonnage took place monthly to enhance the mouthfeel of the wine. Only the best barrels were selected for the final blend, which consists of 27% first-fill barrels and 34% second-fill barrels, and the rest a combination of third- to fifth-fill barrels.
