The Chardonnay grapes come from various vineyards in the Swartland region, giving this white wine greater diversity and power. While all the vineyards in the Swartland region have very low yields, the bunches that are harvested are of unparalleled quality. Once the grapes have fully absorbed the surrounding environment and are ripe, they are hand-harvested early in the morning. Each bunch is inspected, and only the finest are selected to create this Survivor Wild Yeast Chardonnay. After pressing, this white wine undergoes a remarkable 14 months of oak aging in the Survivor cellars. And what a wine! Wow, a truly young one!
A full-bodied, powerful Chardonnay aged for 11 months in oak, and you can taste it! The aroma is full and powerful, with hints of apricots, roasted nuts, toast, vanilla, and yellow cream. The Chardonnay grapes are grown in the warm Swartland wine region, where they receive plenty of sun and develop into firm and plump grapes! This is clearly noticeable in the taste: full and powerful, with plenty of tropical fruit, apricots, vanilla, yellow cream, and a hint of lime zest! A truly exceptional wine.
