Vriesenhof Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 2023

Fresh, vibrant yellow gold in appearance, suggesting energy and richness.  Aromas of citrus blossom, heady summer flowers and subtle wood spice are offset by biscuit-like savoury notes.  The palate wraps flavours of creamy lees, citrus acidity and barrel maturation notes into enticing layers of complexity. Succulent stone fruit flavours linger on a well-balanced, persistent finish.

Aged in French oak, 25% new French oak and the rest a combination of 2^nd and 3^rd fill French oak for 10 months
