Product information "Waterkloof Circumstance Chardonnay 2017"
The Waterkloof Circumstance Chardonnay presents itself with a rather reserved elegant style with discreet pebbly aromas, ripe stone fruit, fine spices and lime in the nose. On the palate, wonderfully integrated oak wood nuances, a fresh play of acids and an incredibly long-lasting finish that lingers for a long time.

The grapes for this Chardonnay were pressed all over the bunch, after which the juice was left to rest for 24 hours and then transferred to 600 l barrels. Waterkloof used a fermentation process using natural and wild yeast to create a slow and steady release of aromas and structure on the palate. The fermentation lasted on the yeast at controlled temperatures between 18ºC and 20ºC for 5 months and then matured on the yeast for another 4 months after the end of the fermentation.
