Wild House Chardonnay
SKU: USBO2020
Chardonnay
Highly versatile, a variety of fish, vegetable and white meat dishes.
A fresh, expressive nose with bright citrus and stonefruit aromas combining with lightly oaky notes. The palate is ripe and textural, the bright fruit balanced by taut acidity and savory, toasty notes from long lees ageing and subtle oak influence
Curated in the usual Wild House fashion, 'lazy winemaking' as JD calls it. The grapes, from a single vineard in Paarl, are gently crushed and naturally fermented, with no additions. 80 % in tank, 20% in older French oak barrels. Partial malolactic fermentation. This is followed by 9 months ageing on fine lees. No fining and coarse filtration.
