100% Chardonnay

Wine of Origin: Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge
Winemaker: Richard Kershaw MW

The grapes are sourced from a block in the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge. Made only from clone CY548, typical for giving stony, meaty and robust flavours. Hand-picked and whole bunch pressed, the wine undergoes a wild ferment, 12 months in Burgundy-coopered barrels and is assessed every eight weeks. Its low sulphites allow it to be designated a natural wine, yet it has the extract and low pH to age over the medium term.

Tasting Notes: Lucerne flowers, satsuma and citrus on the nose. Flinty, poised palate with lemon, orange, spice and peat over lemon curd. Elegant, vivid and chalky, with a long, tingling finish.

Ready for drinking 2027 to 2032.
