Information about "Restless River Ava Marie Chardonnay 2022"
The Restless River Ava Marie Chardonnay 2022 is a captivating expression of the cool Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, revealing an enticing bouquet of oatmeal, flint, and lemongrass. The palate is gracefully layered with subtle baking spices, beeswax, and citrus peel, enhanced by a creamy texture derived from extended lees contact. This remarkable Chardonnay strikes a delicate balance between freshness and richness, making it a standout choice for discerning wine enthusiasts.
Handpicked grapes were whole-bunch pressed before fermenting with native yeasts in 90% French oak (10% new) and 10% uncoated Tuscan terracotta amphorae, allowing the terroir to shine. After 12 months in barrels, the wine further matured in bottle, gaining additional complexity.
