2008 CROCODILES LAIR / KAAIMANSGAT CHARDONNAY

|


|
Crocodiles Lair is the translation from the word Kaaimansgat which is the name of the farm producing these special Chardonnay grapes.
Grown at a high elevation of 700 meters in a blind mountain valley behind the village of Villiersdorp where this location is more reminiscent of the Swiss Alps than a typical South African Vineyard site. These vineyards are without irrigation & they ripen about a month later than elsewhere in the Cape.
Vintage 2008 was very late but has still managed to produce another excellent Chardonnay bottling.
Characterised by rich mineral and citrus fruit design overlaid with peach & vanilla flavour tones all enhanced by only the best French Oak - 25% being new barrel compliment.
