Cape Winemakers Guild

Paul Cluver The Wagon Trail Chardonnay 2012

The grapes were selected from the oldest Chardonnay Vineyards on the property, 25 years. After pressing and settling, the wines were transferred to barrel, fermented without inoculation. The wine was left on the gross lees for 9.5 months before racking, stabilisation and bottling. Tasting Notes: The first impression the wine gives is the expressive citrus characters on the nose. The palate is bursting with flavour, starting with lime notes and carrying through to a concentrated mid palate with a very long, lingering mineral aftertaste.
