The Rustenberg Unwooded Chardonnay presents itself in the glass with a delicate lime-green straw colour and at the same time a seductive bouquet of fresh citrus aromas and a hint of creamy oatmeal fills the nose. On the palate this unwooded Chardonnay presents itself discreetly mineral and pleasantly light with a refreshingly crisp and dry finish.

On arrival at the winery, the hand-picked grapes were first completely destemmed and then crushed and pressed. The resulting juice fermented in stainless steel tanks with the addition of selected yeast cultures and matured for a further 2-3 months in stainless steel tanks after completion of the alcoholic fermentation, with the yeast being stirred once a week.
