The chardonnay grapes were sourced from top-performing vineyards in darling, paarl
and stellenbosch. These are known as cool climate winegrowing areas, offering the
benefit of slower ripening of the grapes to achieve greater. Winemaking:
The chardonnay grapes were harvested by hand and machine at 22º to 24º balling
during february and march. After clarification, the juice was racked into stainless-steel
tanks where fermentation took place at 15° to 16°c, for two to three weeks. The wine
was left on the fermentation lees for 9 months, with continuous batonnage (stirring of
the lees) for enhanced mouthfeel and palate weight. Malolactic fermentation was
prevented to ensure a higher natural acidity and freshness. After blending, the wine was
left on the fine lees for added freshness and to guarantee longevity. Approximately 20%
of the wine was aged in new and older french oak barrels to attain even more
complexity and a fuller expression of the wine on the nose and the palate
