Information about "Stellenbosch Reserve Chardonnay 2025"
The Stellenbosch Reserve Chardonnay presents a captivating floral bouquet, featuring aromas of frangipani blossoms, ripe pear, lemon meringue, and a hint of toast. Its vibrant acidity offers a delightful lift to the medium-bodied Chardonnay, underscoring luscious notes of fresh citrus, peach, and subtle nuances of brioche, winter melon, butter, and a touch of vanilla. Subtle oak influences reveal delicate hints of butterscotch, contributing to the remarkable complexity and richness of this premier Stellenbosch wine. The finish is lightly savory, echoing with fine nuances of zesty lemon and gentle saline touches.
The grapes were hand-harvested, with 75% destemmed upon arrival at the winery. The remaining fruit was pressed whole-cluster. Fermentation occurred in both barrels and stainless steel tanks, with the yeast stirred bi-weekly to enhance complexity and richness. Partial malolactic fermentation was allowed, providing the wine with good structure and character. After fermentation, it aged for six months in French oak barrels (18% new wood).
