Boschendal's Chardonnay grows in mountainous soils under ideal conditions. Hand harvested grapes were pressed and fermented in a cool cellar to preserve the graceful citrus and tropical flavours before some maturation in oak barrels, giving the wine a rich texture with elegant depth and buttery dimensions.
