Mulderbosch Chardonnay 2022
(R1,458.00 for 6 x 750ml)
With a characteristic golden hue, a green touch gives away the vivacious zest and minerality of this superb vintage.
Granny smith apples with touches of lemony zing, subtle vanilla pod and caramel in a Corona-less embrace, winter melon, peach, apricot and pear all have their part to play.
The palate is focused, mineral rich and tense. This wine is serious, it has the backing of very well judged oak, but relies on the girth that comes naturally from a well-made Chardonnay.
Recognising an opportunity to express a fresher, more fruitful character of the variety, Mulderbosch Chardonnay is typically lees aged for almost a year in order to provide additional complexity and finesse. This wine enjoys no more than 50% barrel fermentation.
