Vonn Wines Chardonnay 2023

R450.00

Kweekkamp is a single vineyard in Robertson, located in a remote valley along the Breede River, thrives in volcanic soil enriched with limestone pockets. The grapes were picked in three separate phases to enhance the wine’s complexity. Ten percent of the wine was aged in ceramic clay vessels, while the remainder matured in French oak barrels, with no malolactic fermentation involved.

“The aromas expressed by this wine are those of lemon zest, lime blossom, white pear, and kiwi fruit. This Chardonnay exhibits endless freshness and lucid flintiness on the palate with a dimension of minerality and salinity to give depth and density to its character. An inkling sensation of nougat contributes to a beautiful smooth conclusion.” –Yvonne Lester
