2018 Cape Chamonix Chardonnay

Cape Chamonix

Franschhoek

The wine shows bright straw yellow colours with golden highlights and ample aromas in scents that recall tropical fruits and grapefruit, mingling with hints of oatmeal, caramel and nutmeg. Medium-bodied with richly complex fruit flavours.


Vinification

Grapes are soft-crushed and the must fermented for 15-25 days in French oak barrels (about 20% new). Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally during the 12 months the wine spends year of maturing on the lees, with the wine and lees regularly stirred for mouthfeel and complexity.
