The Meerlust Chardonnay is a bright, polished platinum with a vivid green hue. It has a complex appealing nose with pear, citrus and floral notes that evolve into lemon cream, oatmeal and marzipan richness. On the palate it is medium bodied with a crisp acidity; well balanced; ripe tropical fruit and stony minerality with and a pleasant long finish.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were picked by hand. 50% of the wine was fermented in new French Allier oak barriques, the rest in used 300 liter wooden barrels. 50% of the wine was fermented spontaneously with yeast from the cellar, the rest was made with commercial yeast. After fermentation, the wine was separated from the heavy yeasts that had sunk to the bottom; malolactic fermentation took place and the wine matured in wood for another 10 months.
