Cellar Master Series Chardonnay

Scallops, langoustines, lightly seasoned white fish with lemon, or sushi.

From a 23-year-old Chardonnay block in Tradouw, in the Little Karoo. Decomposed Bokkeveld shale soils and a continental climate with cold nights and warm days contribute to freshness and fruit development.

Matured for nine months before blending and bottling.

Hand-picked early in the morning at 23.6° Balling and whole-bunch pressed gently. Juice settled overnight. One third fermented in stainless steel, one third in new untoasted 300-litre French oak and one third in third-fill 400-litre French oak.

Travelling through the Swartland on the back of a truck, heading towards an auction, a Nguni cow knew a beautiful vineyard when she saw one and jumped off. She was appropriately named Survivor when the grower found her grazing in his vineyard. Pierre Wahl excels at creating powerful and elegant wines, choosing to showcase the cultivar’s fruit characteristics, embraced by an old-world elegance in structure and texture. A masterfully crafted fine wine brand that speaks to inner strength, roots, character and refined taste.
