The Constitution Road Chardonnay presents a stunning bouquet of richly intertwined aromas of fresh citrus, delicate buttered toast, orange marmalade and fragrant vanilla. On the palate, the tangy acidity balances the immensely creamy texture beautifully. Delicious flavours of multilayered citrus fruit, pear and caramel butterscotch finish in a long and soft aftertaste.

On arrival at the cellar, the grapes were gently crushed and pressed with great care. During the pressing process, the juice was divided into free-run juice and pressed juice. Only the free-run juice was used for further production and was left to rest for 12 hours before being skimmed off the lees and transferred to new and already second-fill French oak barrels. Both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations were completed in the barrel. The wine then matured on the primary lees, with the lees being stirred up and under (batonnage) every two weeks for the first two months, then only once a month.
