Delheim
Sur Lie Chardonnay
Stellenbosch, Coastal Region, Western Cape, South Africa
my first sa chard.
100% single vineyard chardonnay.
9 months in 🌳(30% new).
20% of wine was allowed malolactic conversion.
12.5 % ABV
green with golden hue 👀
wood driven spices, green 🍎 and peach👃
medium + body.
medium + acidity.
green 🍎, peach and nectarine, lime peel and lemon oil, vanilla, cloves and hinted butter 👄
medium + pleasant 🎯
oomphi but still elegant. great wine making.
i believe the 3 years since vintage rounded it for the best. could wait a year or two for better results.
paired best with white fish basic ceviche but also not too bad with mozzarella (introduced as burrata) salad, rice and rattatuee and 'asian' grilled chicken with beans on the side.
ok-ish basic suburbia restaurant with lovely wine brought from my m8 wine fridge.
