Backsberg Citrus Hill Chardonnay 2020

Lightly oaked and aromatic, be charmed by notes of cashew, cream and bright citrus.

The fruit is from both younger vines, that drive the fruit profile, and low-yielding older vineyards that provide a very finely structured backbone. These vines have been planted in sandy clay-loam soils.

Fruit is picked at various stages of ripeness to create a layered and complex flavour profile. 50% of the blend is fermented in 225ℓ New French Oak barrels for 4 months. Thereafter, aging on the lees for 4 months further contributes to the full-bodied nature and creamy texture of this wine
