Description
The decision to include a white in this boutique estates’ repertoire was one which took much debate and thinking. It was unclear whether in such a hot climate could make a notable white wine with aging potential following the estate’s philosophy. Today, the decision to plant some 2,500 vines of Chardonnay is considered one of the most rewarding decisions taken as the results have been surprisingly pleasing.
Tasting Notes :
This oak-fermented Chardonnay, produced against all odds, is a complex wine which conveys apricot, white fig and vanilla to balance the acidity and alcohol, which in some years exceeds 14%vol. This is a big wine, somewhat amber in colour reflecting the hot climate and ripeness of the fruit, big in stature and character. This wine is complements a range of cheese, savoury pastries, foie gras, cold cuts of meat, fish and seafood.
