The De Grendel Chardonnay 2019 has lively flavours, refined finish and rich with a long tail due to the extended lees contact and oak ageing. It pairs perfectly with rich creamy dishes or citrus-based salads.
This Chardonnay has the aroma of crisp Granny Smith apples and a ripe citrus tone of grapefruit. Expect layers of crème caramel and sweet orange marmalade. The grapes for the De Grendel Chardonnay is left to ripe slowly, which in return produces wine with a distinctive character and expressive style.
De Grendel is not just one of the oldest farms in Cape Town, it is the only vineyard in South Africa that is 350m above sea level and only seven kilometers from the ocean. The farm is a testament to the centuries-old history of the Graaff family.
