Zevenwacht6x Estate Chardonnay 2020

About

Zevenwacht is a modern wine farm with a 300-year history. Owned and managed by the Johnson Family, the Estate has a strong commitment to historic and cultural preservation, as well as conservation of the surrounding indigenous environment. Two prime farming locations provide the grapes for the Zevenwacht winery. The home vineyard on the Estate's panoramic 450 hectares maritime-influenced property, supplies the majority of the grapes. The farm Zevenrivieren, situated at the crest of the Helshoogte Pass, provides winemaker, Hagen Viljoen, with a boutique selection of grapes that add to the fascinating variety of the wines.

Product Features

• After pressing, the juice was settled and racked to first, second and third fill 300L and 500l barrels, where it fermented and matured for 10 months on the gross lees with occasional lees stirring to add mid-palate weight and texture.
• This Chardonnay has superb and distinctive aromas of citrus and pear with a subtle oak aroma of caramel and roasted almonds. 
• The palate is both rich and refreshing with a combination of lime-citrus and white pear flavours. 
• The wine is classically dry, yet luxuriously silky with superb viscosity and length.
• Delicious with rich seafood dishes and creamy pastas.
