ORIGIN

This Chardonnay is made entirely from Estate grown grapes on the Rocklands, Rooiland, Slanghoek and LSB Vineyards.

 

VINIFICATION

Grapes were whole bunch pressed and not given any skin contact. The juice, slightly clarified, was racked into 20% new French oak barrels (Francois Frère, Dargaud & Jaegle, St Martin, Latour and 80% second, third and fourth fill barrels) for alcoholic fermentation. All the different vineyards were barrel fermented and matured on the lees for 8 months before bottling.
