False Bay Chardonnay
flinty minerality and great purity. Extended time on the lees adds nutty and toasty notes. Intense yet delicate to the finish.
Wild yeast fermentation, low yields and naturally balanced grapes inform this serious unoaked textural Chardonnay with great focus and poise. Classy, with flinty minerality and great purity and restraint. Extended time on the lees adds nutty and toasty notes. Intense yet delicate right through to the finish.

Ratings & Awards,
The Vineyard
The grapes for False Bay Crystalline Chardonnay stem primarily from from
a single vineyard in Stellenbosch located next door to one of the
region's most lauded proponents of this noble cultivar. This coastal
vineyard, gives lower yields, smaller berries which maintain their own
natural acidity, thus obviating the need to add acid during the
winemaking process. Made by Waterkloof's talented young Cellarmaster
Nadia Barnard.
