About this Item

2024 The Wagon Trail Chardonnay
12 (2 x 6) 750ml

100% Chardonnay

Wine of Origin: Elgin
Winemaker: Andries Burger

Sourced from the first commercial Chardonnay vineyard planted in Elgin in 1987, this wine holds Certified Heritage Vineyard status from the Old Vine Project. Crafted with a minimal intervention philosophy - no added yeast or enzymes - and whole-bunch pressed to preserve clarity and texture. Natural fermentation and settling reveal a pure expression of Elgin’s cool-climate terroir.

Tasting Notes: Elegant and textured, with layered aromas of oatmeal, vanilla pod, citrus, and raw honey. The palate unfolds with white citrus richness, a saline edge, and refreshing tannins, concluding with a long, mineral-driven finish.

Ready to drink now until 2035.
