Information about "Crystallum Clay Shales Chardonnay 2024"

The Crystallum Clay Shales Chardonnay is a benchmark for South African Chardonnays, captivating the senses with its alluring bouquet of white pear, lychee, and butterscotch, enhanced by smoky undertones, vanilla bean, and elderflower. On the palate, it reveals a luscious structure, showcasing pastry-like creaminess and lime liqueur, punctuated by a gripping mineral edge and vibrant acidity. This exceptional expression from the now-famous terroir unfolds with a delightful smoothness, culminating in a long and enchanting finish, ensuring a magnificent tasting experience. A balanced and masterful wine!

Treatment in the cellar

Das Traubengut für diesen Spitzen-Chardonnay wurde am ganzen Bund gepresst und ohne Zugabe von Enzymen, SO2 oder kommerziellen Hefen gepresst und fermentierte anschließend in ausgewählten Fässern aus Eichenholz. Fermentierung und Reifung fanden über einen Zeitraum von acht Monaten statt, bevor der Wein auf die Flasche gefüllt wurde.

Dieser Chardonnay wird im Einzelweinberg „Clay Shales” angebaut, dessen Name sich von der Bodenbeschaffenheit hier ableitet: überwiegend Lehm und Schiefer.
