The Fishwives Club Chardonnay 2022, 750 ml

Tasting notes: In the glass, the Chardonnay presents itself in a radiant golden yellow. This wine is backed by the renowned Buitenverwachting winery, which already raises certain expectations. The bouquet is characterised by enticing aromas of tropical fruits such as pineapple and melon. Above all, however, refreshing citrus notes dominate the olfactory composition. On the palate, it reveals its crispness and invigorating freshness. A remarkable acidity gives the wine balance and elegance. The finish is characterised by a seductive butteriness that rounds off the enjoyment perfectly.Food pairings: Ideal as a complementary wine to delicate poultry, refined vegetables, and fresh salads with zesty sauces, or even with truffle-infused pasta. We recommend drinking the wine at a slightly chilled temperature of between 8-10 °C.The vinification: The wine-growing region of South Africa enjoys an ideal climate for viticulture. The Western Cape in particular, located at the south-western tip of the country, benefits from a prevailing Mediterranean climate, which is fostered by the cooling Benguela Current. This ensures a pleasant warmth even during the long summer months and despite the warm and sunny weather. This balanced climate creates optimal conditions for wine cultivation.The wine tradition in the Western Cape dates back over 300 years. The lime- and sandstone soils around Cape Town provide the ideal ground for velvety, soft, and complex red wines, mainly Cabernet, Syrah, and Merlot. In the higher-altitude regions, white grape varieties such as Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc often develop enchanting aromas of exotic fruits. The wines of »The Fishwives Club« are crafted through careful selection of the best grapes, winemakers, and terroirs from the world-famous Cape Wine Region, resulting in exceptional wines. Experienced winemakers hand-harvest the grapes to ensure the highest quality.
