Information about "Thelema Sutherland Anna Chardonnay 2021"
The Thelema Sutherland Anna Chardonnay showcases vivid chalky minerality alongside subtle notes of freshly baked brioche, marking it as a prime representation of its terroir. The palate bursts with a delightful lemon essence, exceptionally complementing the wood undertones of this prestigious Chardonnay, resulting in a refined, lingering freshness. Despite 30% undergoing malolactic fermentation and 80% new oak aging, this wine remains neither heavy nor indulgent, presenting a linear, roasted complexity with a creamy texture and vibrant floral citrus notes.
Following the establishment of Thelema Mountain Vineyards as a celebrated producer in Stellenbosch, owner and winemaker Gyles Webb launched Sutherland Vineyards in the cool-climate Elgin region. The Sutherland Reserve Collection pays tribute to his four cherished granddaughters. Elegant, pure, and nuanced, this wine is named after Anna Vivienne Hilton (the Patient), Gyles' first granddaughter.
Die alkoholische sowie malolaktische Fermentierung fand in französischen Eichenholzfässern mit einer Füllmenge von 228 l pro Fass statt, mit anschließender Reifung von 10 Monaten auf der groben Hefe. Während der zehnmonatigen Reifezeit wurde die Hefe im Wein regelmäßig auf- und untergerührt (batonnage), um eine optimale Komplexität im Wein zu erhalten. Nur die 12 besten Fässer wurden anschließend nach eingehender Qualitätsprüfung verschnitten und abgefüllt.
