Product information "Lanzerac Chardonnay 2023"
The Lanzerac Chardonnay is an incredibly full-bodied Chardonnay with a citrus-dominated bouquet followed by a complex flavor profile with nuances of lemon, clove, ginger and subtle vanilla. The palate presents an excellent balance of fruit, acidity and soft smoothness, as well as a lingering and pleasant finish.

The hand-picked grapes were sorted with great care and selected for the further course of production, before the grapes were completely destemmed and the berries were crushed. The resulting mash was cooled down to a regulated 15˚C before pressing. After pressing, the juice was left to rest for 48 hours, after which the clear juice was skimmed off the lees and fermented 50% in 300L Burgundy barrels and the other half in stainless steel tanks. For the barrels, a combination of new, second-, third- and fourth-use barrels were used. Each different vineyard section was separately inoculated and fermented here, respectively, with different yeast cultures. Once fermentation was complete, the barrel-aged portion was left to age on its lees for seven to eight months with weekly stirring up and down of the yeast (batonnage). After nine months, all Chardonnay components were blended and bottled.
