Information about "False Bay On Borrowed Time Chardonnay 2024"
Exuding a light straw color with fresh green reflections, the False Bay On Borrowed Time Chardonnay entices with a captivating fragrance of sweet clover, Golden Delicious apple, passion fruit, and verbena. Rich and elegantly structured on the palate, it boasts a bright, well-integrated acidity. This is a plush wine with a rounded mouthfeel, supported by refreshing acidity. The low-yield Chardonnay vines thrive on the steep slopes of Helderberg, overlooking False Bay, contributing to its distinct character!
The approach here is both natural and meticulous, requiring significant labor. Hand-harvested and carefully selected, the grapes are gently pressed whole in a horizontal basket press to yield the purest juice. Fermented with wild yeasts in a single 600-liter French oak barrel, supplemented by one second-fill barrel and a single third-fill 225-liter barrique. Bottled without fining and with minimal filtration, only the lightest SO2 added. A total of 1600 bottles were produced.
