Of a delicate golden straw colour in the glass, De Grendel Op Die Berg Chardonnay exudes a heavenly bouquet of butterscotch-caramel, coconut and vanilla! Aromas that are accompanied by hints of white pears and a touch of star fruit. On the palate, seductively creamy nuances of white peaches and apricots open up, ending in a creamy vanilla finish with subtle salty minerality. A dream in white!

The grapes for this highly endowed Chardonnay were harvested with great care in the early hours of the morning and on arrival at the winery were completely destemmed, crushed and gently pressed. The juice was left to rest overnight, mixed with selected yeasts the next morning and two days later filled into French oak barrels with a capacity of 225 l per barrel, 33% of which were new, 33% second and 33% third. After the fermentation was completed, the wine matured for 6 months on the fine yeast in the cask and was stirred twice a week (batonnage) and once a month after the malolactic fermentation was completed in order to give the wine a creamier and fuller mouthfeel and optimal structure.
