Description
As fresh as a sea breeze, with sea shells initially before grapefruit. A subtle hint of perfume makes their presence obvious on the nose. The palate is lip-smackingly taut, zesty and crisp on entry. Bright and fresh with tangy lemon- and grapefruit vivacity - that then makes way for riper, fleshier fruit – generous orange, apple- and stone fruit flavour. The wine then broadens out on the mid-palate with a creamier, fuller-bodied richness taking over before it tightens once more with a defined, dry and crisp tail
Chardonnay grapes are received in bins or lug boxes early in the morning and whole-bunch pressed. To ensure optimum quality, all the vineyards and blocks are kept separately, as well as the free-run and second press-fractions. The juice is settled and racked off its lees and fermentation commences after yeast inoculation. Approximately 20% of the Blanc de Blancs is barrel-fermented and the base wine settled and racked off its lees. The blending of the ‘cuvee’ takes place after 12 weeks and the wine is then protein- and cold-stabilised. The ‘cuvee’ is bottled for the second fermentation in the bottle and the wines are stored at 13°C – 15°C. The wines are matured for a further four years on the lees at around 14°C. Disgorgement takes place and the wine is kept on the cork for at least 8 months before being released onto the market.
