TierhoekPiekenierskloof Chardonnay 2018 (R66.50 per bottle, 6 bottles)

About

A lovely, fresh Chardonnay with subtle citrus and baked apple palate that is rounded from a portion of barrel ageing, producing a soft creaminess. This wine appeals to both wooded and unwooded fans and works brilliantly with food pairing.

Product Features

• This block was fermented in 2 different parcels. The 1 st parcel fermented and aged in steel tanks, to keep freshness and minerality. 
• The 2nd parcel (57%) was barreling fermented and aged, to produce the roundness and creaminess. Batonage is done for 6 months in the barrel.
