The Chardonny grapes for this Chardonaay from Lievland are destemmed, cooled and softly pressed after picking. The fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks with as little contact with oxygen as possible. This benefits the fragrance and freshness. After a few months of maturation (sur lie) on the fine sediment of inactive yeast cells, the wine is clarified and filtered.
The Chardonnay from Lievland Vineyards is an almost French-like chardonnay. It is a delicious fresh and juicy wine, without wood ageing. On the nose the fresh aromas of lime, some riper yellow fruit and nuts. The nice fresh acidity in the mouth provides a very pleasant aftertaste. Great as a glass to enjoy stand-alone and delicious with various fish dishes, Dutch shrimps or with white meat such as veal and chicken.
Riaan Möller - Head winemaker at Lievland: "South African wines are called wines from 'the new world', But with the long history of grape growing in the Cape, I think it's better to say that we find the perfect balance between new and old-fashioned styles. At Lievland Vineyards, we are fortunate to work with top-quality Stellenbosch terroir. We take classic varieties and make wines traditionally, striving for the perfect balance between old-fashioned elegance and bright fruit from the new world."
