2023 Lievland Vineyards Chardonnay Western Cape

The Chardonny grapes for this Chardonaay from Lievland are destemmed, cooled and softly pressed after picking. Fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks with as little contact with oxygen as possible. This benefits the aroma 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-sounding chardonnay. It is a delicious fresh and juicy wine, without wood aging. On the nose the fresh aromas of lime, somewhat riper yellow fruit and nuts. The beautiful fresh acids in the mouth ensure a very pleasant aftertaste.
