Information about "Uva Mira Icon Chardonnay 2019"
Radiating a soft golden hue, the Uva Mira Icon Chardonnay enchants with its fragrant, pure, and precise profile. Its initial nutty notes seamlessly transition into a stone-like minerality with chalky hints. A captivating floral aroma, enriched with orange blossom and lime, adds layers of complexity to the bouquet. This wine deftly emphasizes elegance and balance over mere strength, presenting a vibrant sensation with a subtle touch of orange peel. On the palate, it expresses finesse and grace, revealing nuances of fresh persimmon, subtle earthiness, and almond that echo the delicate floral notes. The lively structure, characterized by its chalky acidity, bestows a rich yet taut character. Truly a masterpiece, it's among the finest Chardonnays that South Africa has to offer!
Selected from only 0.2 hectares of maritime Chardonnay vines, this ultimate expression of terroir is crafted from a blend of nine individual Chardonnay components, resulting in a limited release of just 900 bottles.
This award-winning Chardonnay was aged in oak barrels, maturing for nine months in French barriques, of which 45% were new.
