Simonsig Chardonnay 2020

Taste Profile: A beautiful Chardonnay with a light straw colour. Inviting aromas of white peach, lemon and brioche on the nose are followed by toasted nuts. On the palate, layers of citrus and stone fruits are followed by complex toasty aromas from oak maturation. The wine shows plenty of power which is complimented beautifully by fresh acidity and a persistent finish.

Grape: 100% Chardonnay.

Serving Tips: Ideal with seafood dishes like fresh wild oysters, fish carpaccio, fish curry, creamy crayfish pasta and shellfish salad, as well as creamy cheeses like ripe Winelands Camembert, Pont le Eveque or Reblochon. Do not serve too cold: 14° - 16°C should be perfect.

Winemaking: Only top-quality hand selected grapes are harvested at optimum ripeness according to their flavour profile. This Chardonnay was fermented and matured in French Oak barrels for 9 months, 35% new oak. No malolactic fermentation took place.
