Information about "Uva Mira Icon Chardonnay 2023"
With a delicate golden hue, the Uva Mira Icon Chardonnay captivates with its wonderfully perfumed, pure, and precise nose. The initial nutty aroma evolves to reveal a stony minerality intertwined with chalky undertones. Floral notes, particularly orange blossom and lime, contribute to the wine's complex bouquet. Despite its concentration, this wine emphasizes elegance and balance over power, presenting a lively profile touched by a hint of orange zest. On the palate, it unfolds with finesse and grace, showcasing nuances of fresh persimmon, subtle earthiness, and almond notes that resonate with the delicate floral scent. Its vibrant structure, marked by a chalky acidity, lends a rich yet taut character to the wine. An absolute masterpiece, it stands as the crème de la crème of South African Chardonnays!
Only 0.2 hectares of maritime Chardonnay vines were selected, and nine individual Chardonnay components were blended to achieve this ultimate expression of terroir, resulting in just 900 bottles produced.
Dieser hochdotierte Chardonnay wurde im Holzfass ausgebaut und reifte nach Abschluss der Fermentierung neun Monate lang in französischen Barriques, von denen 45 % Neuholz ausmachten.
