Chardonnay 2024

Craven Wines, teknisk ark/fact sheet (cravenwines.com – linket fra cravenwines.com, hentet 2026-10-18): 2024 Craven Wines Chardonnay – område: Stellenbosch; 100% Chardonnay; alkohol 11.9%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Om vinen: Chardonnay is a grape we have always enjoyed drinking and it was only a matter of time before we decided to take the plunge and make our own version. After looking around for a suitable vineyard, we decided we wanted to stay in the Polkadraai Hills for this. We love what the area brings to white wines, a real inherent saltiness and freshness. In the cellar we whole bunch pressed the grapes to tank to settle overnight. The next day the juice was put into neutral 500L French oak barrels for fermentation and remained there to complete malolactic fermentation. After malolactic fermentation, we transferred the wine to a concrete tank for 7 months of elevage, before the wine was racked and bottled. Producentens noter (engelsk): Vineyard: Bluegum Grove
