Cape of Good Hope6x Serruria Chardonnay 2019

About

In 2006, Johann Rupert initiated the search for all vineyards in South Africa older than 35 years. Traditionally the South African wine industry depended on tonnage, meaning that the meager yields of older vines dictated them to be removed. What was left was some pretty spectacular pockets of vines tended by people who either kept them out of sentiment or foresight. Old vine wine guarantees intensity, texture and a real sense of place. Preserving them then is an act of social responsibility toward South African wine and the people who invested in them despite the odds.

Product Features

• Award: 4.5 Star Platter.
• A portion of the juice (25%) was fermented and matured in stainless steel and the balance in 300ℓ French oak hogsheads (30% new) for 12 months. 
• A portion of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation before it was blended and bottled.
• A bold but refined nose of orange marmalade on freshly buttered toast.
• Complex and tempting.
• Rounded, ripe, full-bodied and creamy, the palate is elegance personified. 
• The first impression is of kumquat or orange marmalade complemented by sumptuous vanilla.
• This wine presents a textured mouthful that is serious, refined, poised and rich. 
• The restraint in both oaking and fruit ripeness is impressive and delivers great overall harmony.
• A delightfully long finish that lingers long after the wine is gone.
