This Chardonnay was blended from a selection of the best wines from the ultra-ripe harvest.  From the start, our aim was to produce a Chardonnay with intense fruit flavour and real character utilising quality grapes.

All fruit was harvested in the early hours and the juice pressed while the grapes were still cool to help retain aroma and flavour.  The wine was tank fermented with an element of quercus fragmentus which added greater weight and complexity.

The wine shows classic ripe, rich butter and tropical fruit on the nose and soft, well integrated vanilla on the palate.

Zonnebloem sources the best grapes from growers in the historic Stellenbosch region to create its range of critically acclaimed wines, combining time-honoured traditions with state of the art techniques to produce well-structured classic wines that exemplify the craft of winemaking.

Style:  Elegand with fresh citrus notes, a hint of minerality and oak, ending in a creamy finish.

Serve:  Chillied - enjoy on its own or with cheeses, fish and white meats.

Refined and elegant blend of Chardonnay(�60%) and Pinot Noir (�40%) with a firm accidity in the background. You'll find an abundance of ripe zesty fruit with a delectable, fresh and full mouthfeel. This is a highly versatile wine, perfect match for fish, chicken or Mediterranean cuisine.
