Seaward Chardonnay 2023

A chic seaside holiday in a glass. Made with grapes handpicked from the breezy Tygerberg Hills, this Chardonnay is as elegant as it is versatile: the perfect accompaniment for fireside reading, sweltering poolside afternoons or sophisticated dinner parties. Being lightly-wooded, its citrus-dominated flavours are rounded out by creamy vanilla; the oak offers structure without being overbearing. Serve with garlicky mussels, parmesan mushroom pasta, roast pork or butternut soup.

Aromas of mandarin and pear drops with undertones of raw almonds on the nose. The creamy palate offers fresh citrus, nectarine and well-integrated vanilla.

VINEYARD AND CLIMATE CONDITIONS
The vines for this wine are found In the Tygerberg Hills and In Stellenbosch.
Both sites are close to the Atlantic Ocean, benefitting from the cool winds
cooling down the areas. Vines are a mixture of Dryland and Drip Irrigation
supplemented vineyards.

WINEMAKING
Grapes were hand-harvested between 22.5° and 23.5° Balling. The
grapes were cooled down at the cellar before crushing. Skin contact
was allowed for 4 hours at ±10°C. Only free-run juice drained by
gravity was used for fermentation, 60% of which fermented in
stainless-steel tanks and 40% in older French-oak barrels.
Thereafter, the wine spent 8 months on the lees. The oak component
was blended with the stainless-steel fermented wine prior to bottling.
