False Bay Vineyards
Grapes:
Chardonnay
Wine Description:

A low yielding site in Robertson produces the 100% Chardonnay needed for this excellent wine. A tiny amount of oak but this wine is really about the bright mineral fruit and acidity.

Tasting Note:

Wild yeast fermentation, low yields and naturally balanced grapes inform this serious unoaked textural Chardonnay with great focus and poise. Classy, with flinty minerality and great purity and restraint. Extended time on the lees adds nutty and toasty notes. Intense yet delicate right through to the finish
