Sans Barrique Chardonnay 2021

Bouchard Finlayson, teknisk ark/fact sheet (hentet 18. okt. 2026): 2021 Bouchard Finlayson Sans Barrique Chardonnay – område: Cape South Coast; 100% Chardonnay; alkohol 12.8%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Vinifikation: Bunches are pressed whole and transferred to tank for cold settling over 36 hours. Only the clarified juice is fermented in stainless steel, where a long, cool fermentation encourages the development of a full spectrum of flavours. The wine undergoes no malo-lactic fermentation, adding further to its fresh appeal, with a 6 month maturation period ‘sur lie’ building a rich element into the palate. Apart from a small percentage of estate-grown fruit, included for added depth and complexity, the majority of this wine is from the original 1988 Elandskloof plantings. Producentens noter (engelsk): Smagsnote: Lively and refreshing, with great definition of seamless floral and citrus fruit notes. Crisp and fine on the palate with the slightest hint of nutty spice. This vineyard’s trademark finesse on obvious display. This wine shows great promise and will reward further cellaring. Drink now until 2026.
