Flying Barrel Oaked & Buttery Chardonnay Magnum 1.5 L
A generous magnum from the Western Cape, crafted to showcase Chardonnay in all its glory. Flying Barrel opts for hand-selection and a distinct signature of ripe fruit and subtle oak. This 1.5L bottle is ideal for a table or a larger gathering, with a style that remains round and generous without losing its freshness.
Vineyards and region
The grapes come from the Western Cape, South Africa. This region produces sunny fruit with enough tension to carry the creamy style. Selection is done by hand, ensuring only healthy and ripe fruit goes into the cellar.
Vinification and maturation
Hand-selected Chardonnay is gently aged, with several months in used French oak to soften the texture without overpowering the fruit. The result is precisely that buttery creaminess you crave, with a soft vanilla note and a hint of nuttiness, while citrus and ripe tropical fruit remain fresh and bright. In magnum, everything comes together even more beautifully, with additional layering at the table and a long, inviting finish.
