2008 SANS BARRIQUE CHARDONNAY

2008 SANS BARRIQUE CHARDONNAY



Vintage 2008 has proven to be a most successful white wine opportunity and this bottling is no exception.  Here is an opportunity for Chardonnay lovers who like their Chardonnay unhindered by the taste of oak.  These grapes originate from the same vineyard as the Crocodile’s Lair Chardonnay, but only in this instance the wine was not barrel fermented but allowed to age on primary lees for six months.
 
It projects a complex fruit driven structure with excellent mineral overtones which linger on the mid palate.  Lively and vibrant with great length and emphatic flavour.
 
It makes a very suitable alternative to Sauvignon Blanc and is delicious with all shellfish, oysters and catch of the day.

Alcohol 13,3% Total Acid 6,7 g/L
Residual Sugar 1,4 g/L pH 3,3
