Schoone Gevel Chardonnay
100% Chardonnay
Western Cape

The grapes used to make this wine come from the Robertson region as well as Perdeberg in
the Agter-Paarl area. Vineyards grow in soils with a relatively higher pH due to the lime
content, ideal for growing Chardonnay grapes.
Whole-bunch pressed, settled and cold fermented with extended lees contact.
Fermentation took place at optimum temperatures in stainless steel tanks.
Unwooded
This refined, single varietal Chardonnay is produced to be an elegant, medium-bodied
wine with an abundance of tropical fruit and lime flavours, and creamy gooseberry aromas.

A versatile companion, this wine is at its best with seafood, light meals and salads, or as
an after-dinner compliment to olives and a variety of creamy cheeses.

Aroma's van tropisch fruit met hinten van perzik. Een medium volle wijn, elegant, goede zuurbalans, lichte toets van toast die het fruitig karakter aanvult.

Te drinken bij vis in saus, gepanneerde kalfslapjes, de asiatische keuken, kip en rijstgerechten.

Serveer op 12°.

Bewaarpotentieel 3 jaar.
