Light oak, aromas and flavours of vanilla, caramel, dragonfruit, and lemon peel. Smooth, buttery mouth-feel. Try with semi-soft mild goat and cow’s milk cheeses or herb-crusted halibut.

Growing conditions

This Chardonnay is from Kalala’s certified organic Westbank Vineyard. The morning sun exposure brought maximum ripeness to grapes while the cool summer evenings maintained the vibrant acidity.

Winemaking notes

We separated the free run and then pressed to 1.2 bar, with no hard press for a soft full mouth feel. Low temperature separate prolonged fermentation for maximum ester extraction. Carefully blended the free run and some of the pressed juice. Aged for 6 months in used French oak barrels. This wine has a crisp flavour, with a smooth vanilla finish
