Information about "Survivor Cellar Master Chardonnay 2022"
The Survivor Cellar Master Chardonnay 2022 emerges from 25-year-old vines rooted in decomposed Bokkeveld shale soils, imparting a pristine elegance and a streak of flintiness. Cultivated in the heart of Klein Karoo, this vineyard benefits from a climate of warm days and cool nights, essential for the development of color and fruit character. This terroir-driven wine boasts a medium to high intensity, highlighted by a youthful bouquet of spring blossoms, crisp yellow apples, dried pineapple, cinnamon, ripe grapefruit, and mandarin peel. Subtle notes of almond skins, bay leaves, and chamomile complete the fruit, offering a refined, spicy finish. On the palate, a sorbet-like intensity unfolds, with vibrant acidity driving the fruit to the back of the palate, revealing a distinct mineral quality. An exceptional Chardonnay!
Hand-picked in the early morning to ensure cool conditions, the grapes were promptly pressed whole. A long, gentle 'Champagne' pressing program was employed, allowing the juice to settle overnight in a tank.
