Bouchard Finlayson, teknisk ark/fact sheet (hentet 18. okt. 2026): 2021 Bouchard Finlayson Kaaimansgat Crocodile's Lair Chardonnay – område: Elandskloof; 100% Chardonnay; alkohol 13.5%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Vinifikation: The elevation at which these vineyards grow, play a significant role in the resulting wine. At 800m above sea level, berries tend to be smaller and skins thicker. Lower juice recoveries can be expected, however, fruit flavours are abundant and the vintage consistency remarkable. Fermentation occur in barrel and initiate spontaneously by indigenous yeast populations. Maintaining temperatures below 25 degrees Celsius is key in the preservation of fruit freshness. Bottling in January 2022 follows a 2 month resting period in tank. Producentens noter (engelsk): Smagsnote: Excellently presented aromas of melon and nectarine underlay a vibrant and pronounced lemon zest and baking spice combination. The texture is rich and voluminous, but balanced by a compelling acidity. Incredible length on the palate. Drink now through 2025.
