Sans Barrique Chardonnay 2022

Bouchard Finlayson, teknisk ark/fact sheet (hentet 18. okt. 2026): 2022 Bouchard Finlayson Sans Barrique Chardonnay – område: Cape South Coast; 100% Chardonnay; alkohol 12.9%. 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 6month 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 Elandskloof ward. Producentens noter (engelsk): Smagsnote: Tight mineral approach at first which opens to succulent citrus zest and pithy grapefruit interest. Pear and Granny Smith apple flavours abound. A balanced and refreshing acidity maintains a vibrant edge. Bright and inviting, this wine possesses sufficient concentration to develop layered complexities in bottle. Drink now until 2028.
