About this Item

2014 Blanc de Blancs Cuvée 108 Chardonnay
24 (4 x 6) 750ml

“Bubbles have truly consumed my life. The process allows you to delve into just so many incredible facets, and, just in winemaking, you have to think about a wine that will only be released in four to six years, sometimes even longer. Bubbles is really in my blood, and I am just so happy that I can still be part of the journey.” - Pieter Ferreira

100% Chardonnay

• A terroir-driven wine expressing the uniqueness of Robertson - rich limestone deposits, sunshine and big diurnal shift.
• Extended time on the lees - bottled in June 2014 and spent 108 months on the lees.
• 50% of the base Chardonnay was fermented in Piece Champenoise French oak barrels, to build complexity and texture.

Tasting Notes: Gentle mineral notes with fresh lime and ripe citrus on the nose. Rich brioche notes bursting on the palate with a creamy and lime zest. Elegant, youthful, and rich texture showing promise to develop.

Ready for drinking from 2025 to 2028.
