Chamonix Chardonnay Auction Reserve 2011

Grapes were de-stemmed, soft crushed and fermented spontaneously in French barriques and concrete eggs. The wine remained on its lees for 14 months where it underwent malolactic fermentation. The Auction Reserve is a selection from our 24 year old vineyard at an altitude of 450 metres above sea level. Tasting Notes: It has bright straw yellow colour with golden highlights and exquisite aroma with scents reminiscent of tropical fruit, ginger, spice and oatmeal. Well-structured and minerally with flavours of lime, grapefruit and toasted almonds on the palate.
