Olivedale Respect for Nature Chardonnay 2024

Caramel toffee and fudge with a crispness of citrus and tropical fruit. A good structured wine ending off in a mouth-watering long lingering finish.

This Chardonnay following the sun from dusk till dawn with its east to west planted rows resulted in the ability to be kissed by our African sun and optimizing its ripe flavors.

With the luxury of time for detail, these grapes were hand-harvested at the break of early morn in 10kg lug boxes, hand-sorting and whole bunch pressing. The juice was transferred into 300Lt French oak barrels. Naturally fermented under controlled temperatures of 14 °C. The wine matured for 7 months on the lees racking only twice before bottling.

 Serving suggestion: This wine will complement most shellfish and seafood.
