Information about "Bouchard Finlayson Crocodile's Lair Kaaimansgat Chardonnay 2024"
The Bouchard Finlayson Crocodile's Lair Kaaimansgat Chardonnay 2024 reveals an enticing aroma of mineral spices and blooming stone fruits. Its palate bursts with vibrant lime and crisp green apple, complemented by a well-balanced finish that showcases its complexity. Hailing from the unique terroir of Kaaimansgat, nestled in a secluded valley just 80 km from Hermanus, the grapes thrive at 700 meters above sea level, allowing for a slow and expressive maturation.
Grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness and gently pressed upon arrival at the winery. The fermentation took place in barrels made from 20% new French oak, where the wine aged for an additional eight months post-fermentation.
