Chardonnay 2022

A bouquet of lemon and lime freshness, delicately perfumed with
aromas of white blossom. A lively palate with pristine acidity, subtle
notes of vanilla supported by delicate oak, a hint of spice and a
mineral finish.

• The 2022 growing season and the subsequent harvest was defined by frequent and
  timely rain and a warm dry ripening period. This combination of nature’s irrigation
  from October through December left the vines quite happy with prolonged flowering
  and good fruit set. The superb ripening weather that followed from January through
  the end of April really delivered quality fruit.
• Hand-picked in ideal condition and ripeness on the 4th April 2022. Whole bunch
  pressed, minimum settling followed by natural fermentation in French oak (10%
  new) and aged on lees for 12 months. Bottled on the 3rd March 2023.
• pH: 3.03, TA: 5,85g/l, Alc: 13.5%, RS: 0.68g/l
