De Krans Wild Ferment Unwooded Chardonnay 2018
WO Calitzdorp
Total production: 6,216 bottles
Price: R74
From low-yielding vines planted in old clay Gamka riverbed soils, naturally fermented then kept on its fine lees for six months before bottling. Fresh citrus on the nose with herby hints of fynbos. On the palate, crunchy stone fruits with bright acidity enhancing lime and grapefruit notes, nicely integrated with a creamy texture. Youthful, accessible, with lingering finish. Delicious everyday drinking. ABV 13%
