100% Chardonnay

W.O. Elgin

The wine: This process has resulted in a medium-bodied and refreshing wine with an alcohol of 13.5% vol, offering a complex and layered wine with a bone-dry finish. Hints of apple and white-stone fruit give way to a zesty, orange-peel finish. The eight months maturation period on the lees in French Oak barrels, really compliments the body of the wine and the wood is superbly well-integrated. Only 8% new wood was used so as not to dominate the flavour and texture of the Chardonnay grape.
