mehrere Informationen

The Lanzerac Mrs. English Chardonnay is a single vineyard bottling from Stellenbosch's stunning Jonkershoek Valley. An immensely complex wine with an abundance of citrus aromas on the nose and a wonderfully full palate. Bold, warm and immensely appealing, this masterful drop presents in a ripe, waxy and lush style. Honey, cinnamon and vanilla spice combine here in a stunningly delightful way, finishing on a lingering finish. A Chardonnay of inimitable balance and class. The name of this high-dollar Chardonnay from Lanzerac's Heritage series pays tribute to Mrs. English, who purchased the farm in 1920 and named it after French General Charles Lanzerac , Le Général, in honor of his service in WWI.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were whole bunch crushed before being freed from the stems to obtain a fruit-driven character and balance in the wine. After pressing, the juice was left to rest for 48 hours at 12 -14˚ C in stainless steel tanks before the clear juice was skimmed from the sediment and transferred to French oak barrels (40% new wood, 40% second growth as well as 20 riddled wood). Each barrel was inoculated with a different yeast culture. One third of the wine fermented spontaneously by wild yeasts naturally occurring in the environment and on the fruit to ensure a smoother wine with wonderful complexity. The wine was then lightly sulfured and left to age for 11 months with regular stirring up and down of the yeast (batonnage).
