Chardonnay 2024 – Single Vineyard
R720,00
Origin: Montagu
Oak Maturation: 6 months in 2nd-fill American & French oak
Production: Only 1,500 bottles crafted
Crafted with minimal intervention to showcase its unique Montagu origin, the Klein Nektar Chardonnay 2024 is a precise and elegant expression of small-scale winemaking. Fermented and matured in second-fill American and French oak barrels, the wine displays purity of fruit and delicate texture, with the oak providing subtle complexity rather than dominance.
Aromas of white peach, citrus blossom, and ripe pear unfold on the nose, while the palate offers lively acidity and fine balance. Gentle notes of toasted almond and a hint of minerality linger on the finish, reflecting both the vineyard’s character and careful craftsmanship in the cellar.
