Information about "Crystallum The Agnes Chardonnay 2024"
The Crystallum The Agnes Chardonnay impresses with an enticing bouquet of crisp pear, quince, pineapple, and lemongrass. On the palate, it exhibits a firm and pristine structure, bringing forth the rich flavors of oatmeal and butterscotch. Its opulent and multifaceted texture is perfectly balanced by a mineral backbone and a refreshing salinity, enhanced by vibrant acidity.
This highly regarded Chardonnay is dedicated to Great-Grandmother Agnes—a remarkable figure celebrated as a charismatic trailblazer in the Overberg region, one of the first women in Cape Town to obtain a driver’s license.
This Chardonnay was crafted using traditional methods. Whole bunches were pressed, and the juice was cooled overnight before being transferred to large oak barrels for spontaneous fermentation without added SO2 or enzymes. The wine underwent barrel fermentation and was aged for nine months prior to bottling.
