Information about "Bouchard Finlayson Crocodile's Lair Kaaimansgat Chardonnay 2024"
The Bouchard Finlayson Crocodile's Lair Kaaimansgat Chardonnay 2024 unveils a captivating bouquet of mineral spices and fragrant stone fruit blossoms that beckon from the glass. On the palate, vibrant lime and crisp green apple explode with freshness, while a refined, lingering finish reveals a complex structure. This wine reflects the unique terroir of Kaaimansgat, a hidden gem nestled in a stunning valley just 80 km from Hermanus, where grapes are gently nurtured at 700 meters above sea level, allowing for a slow and graceful maturation process.
Grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness and gently pressed upon arrival at the winery. The fermentation took place in barrels made from 20% new French oak, where the wine aged for an additional eight months post-fermentation.
