Information about "Survivor Cellar Master Chardonnay 2022"
The Survivor Cellar Master Chardonnay 2022 is crafted from 25-year-old vines growing on decomposed Bokkeveld shale, which bestows it with remarkable purity and elegance alongside subtle flinty notes. Nestled in the heart of Klein Karoo, this vineyard enjoys a climate with warm days and cool nights, perfect for fruit and color development. Terroir-driven, the wine showcases medium to high intensity, captivating with a youthful bouquet of spring blossoms, crisp yellow apples, dried pineapple, cinnamon, ripe grapefruit, and mandarin peel. Undertones of almond skins, bay leaves, and chamomile enrich the aromatic complexity, presenting a refined, spicy finish. Its sorbet-like intensity unfolds on the palate, with vibrant acidity steering the fruit toward the back, revealing distinct mineral characteristics. An exceptional Chardonnay!
Hand-picked in the early morning to ensure cool conditions, the grapes were promptly pressed whole. A long, gentle 'Champagne' pressing program was employed, allowing the juice to settle overnight in a tank.
