Information about "Thelema Chardonnay 2023"
The Thelema Chardonnay 2023 showcases a brilliant straw-yellow appearance, embodying the quality of Stellenbosch. This vintage, fermented and aged in French oak barrels, reveals a meticulously balanced Chardonnay profile. The nose is captivated by enticing aromas of lemon zest and subtle white blossoms, which transition to alluring notes of stone fruit and toasted almonds on the palate. With a medium body, refreshing acidity, and a nuanced mineral backbone, this wine culminates in a long, velvety finish accented by gentle oak.
Zu früher Morgenstunde geerntet, wurde das Traubengut entrappt, über Nacht auf der Maische gelassen und dann abgepresst, ehe der klare Saft zehn Monate Zeit hatte, in französischen 228 Liter Eichenfässern (von denen 35% Neuholz und der Rest dritt und viertbefüllte Fässer ausmachten) zu reifen. Mehrere Monate lang wurde außerdem Bâtonnage vorgenommen.
