Description
The Lanzerac Chardonnay was sourced from different vineyard blocks on Lanzerac. All pruning and harvesting is done by hand to ensure that only healthy and fully ripe grapes reach the cellar. 70% of the Chardonnay was fermented in 300 litre Burgundy styled oak barrels, whilst the rest (30%) was fermented in stainless steel tanks. A combination of new, 2nd, 3rd and 4th fill barrels were used to ensure the best preservation of fruit. After fermentation the Chardonnay in the barrels is left on the lees and batonage is done every week for 7-8 months. After approximately 9 months the Chardonnay is blended and prepared for bottling. This creamy Chardonnay showcases prominent primary citrus aromas on the nose followed by a complexity of flavours including lemon, clover, ginger and vanilla. The palate reveals an excellent balance between fruit, acidity and softness with a lingering aftertaste.
