Missionvale Chardonnay 2021

Bouchard Finlayson, teknisk ark/fact sheet (hentet 18. okt. 2026): 2021 Bouchard Finlayson Missionvale Chardonnay – område: Hemel-en-Aarde Valley; 100% Chardonnay; alkohol 13.1%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Vinifikation: Widely planted and well respected for its low production of high quality fruit, the Missionvale is a singular expression of the 95 clone. Now an established component of the final blend, 6% was fermented and matured for 9months in amphora, the balance in French oak. Although a third of the barrels employed were new, a large proportion have a 350L capacity, therefore reducing the amount of oak extracted. Bottled with light filtration in February 2022. 100% Chardonnay Producentens noter (engelsk): Smagsnote: Sleek and refined, this complex white is filled with saline energy, highlighting a core of green apple, subtle pear and lightly toasted spice. Delicate citrus notes neatly balance a fine texture. Effortless weight and precise acidity close harmoniously. Its impressive youth should improve through 2026.
