Warwick Auction Chardonnay 2022
100% Chardonnay
Wine of Origin Stellenbosch
This Chardonnay is crafted from grapes sourced from two distinct Stellenbosch vineyards, one nestled on the foothills of the Simonsberg and the other located on the Helderberg. The grapes undergo meticulous handpicking and whole bunch pressing, with settling in the tank overnight. Aging takes place in French oak barrels, with 33% new, 50% second fill, and 17% third fill 228-litre barrels utilized. The wine matures for a duration of 11 months in barrel, allowing for the development of its unique character and complexity.
Tasting Notes: Classically styled and inspired Chardonnay, oatmeal and mineral nose, supported by notes of by apple and citrus. The palate is light and refined, with a mineral core and lush citrus fruit.
Ready for drinking now until 2029.
