Tesselaarsdal Chardonnay 2021

This Amphorae aged Chardonnay is pure with lifted primary fruit character and notes of citrus blossom, sweet lemon grass and lees spice with a fine dusty minerality, introduce a long, gentle palate, again very expressive but also deliciously classical and restrained. This is a graceful and age-worthy wine with an almost crystalline purity.

Grapes are whole bunch pressed and fermented in clay amphorae and old wooden barrels Partial malolactic fermentation, 6 months Amphorae ageing on lees before blending and bottling Spontaneous fermentation using organically grown selected yeast – natural fermentation
