Description
Nederberg Winemasters Chardonnay is a wine made from Chardonnay grapes sourced from top-performing vineyards in Darling and Stellenbosch. The grapes were grown in granite and sandstone soils, resulting in grapes with higher natural acidity. The vines were grown on mostly south to south-westerly facing slopes, received supplementary drip irrigation, and were grafted onto phylloxera-resistant rootstocks. The wine was bottled at 750ml.
The Chardonnay grapes were sourced from top-performing vineyards in Darling and Stellenbosch. These are known as cool climate winegrowing areas, offering the benefit of slower ripening of the grapes to achieve greater flavour intensity.
The vines are grown in granite and sandstone soils, resulting in grapes with higher natural acidity, adding to the vibrancy, freshness and longevity of the wine. The vines, ranging in age from 12 to 17 years, and situated on mostly south to south-westerly facing slopes, received supplementary drip irrigation. Grafted onto phylloxera-resistant rootstocks, Richter 99 and 101, the vines yielded an average of 8 to 10 tons per hectare. The Albari*o grapes came from Stellenbosch, the Chenin blanc from Swartland, and the Gewurztraminer from Paarl.
Bottle Size: 750ml
