Aslina Chardonnay 2023

Winemaking

Grapes were handpicked at optimum ripeness at the end of March 2023. Grapes come from Stellenbosch and Elgin. Stellenbosch grapes were tank fermented, while Elgin was in second fill barrels. 25% of the wine was in second fill barrels and on the lees for 8 months while the rest was on the lees in the tank.

Tasting Notes

A deep, robust Chardonnay with notes of honey on the nose. The partial wooding gives this wine a unique edge while highlighting the stunning tropical fruit and limy character. On the palate, it offers a lingering finish and a mild buttery flavour, with undertones of vanilla and honeybush tea. Integrated acidity ensures it’s both refreshing and balanced.
