Information about "Rustenberg Wild Ferment Unwooded Chardonnay 2024"
Presented in a delicate lime-green hue, the Rustenberg Wild Ferment Unwooded Chardonnay enchants with its captivating bouquet of fresh citrus notes and a subtle touch of creamy oatmeal. Aromas of lemon, tangerine, and pine needles meld seamlessly on the palate, culminating in a clean, chalky finish. The absence of oak accentuates this wine's elegance, emphasizing its fresh and fruity characteristics.
This Chardonnay is fermented using the wild yeast present on the grapes at harvest, enhancing its fullness and complexity, while being aged on the lees.
The hand-harvested grapes were fully destemmed, crushed, and pressed upon arrival at the cellar. The juice fermented with selected yeast cultures in stainless steel tanks and rested on the lees for two to three more months with weekly stirring post-fermentation.
