Delaire Graff Banghoek Chardonnay
Elegant and multi-layered - that is the Delaire Graff Chardonnay Banghoek Reserve. Wonderful notes of peach, vanilla and honey pamper the senses of every white wine fan and are surrounded by a light minerality. The white wine matures for ten months in French oak and lingers on the palate for a long time. Whether enjoyed on its own or with poultry or fish dishes, the Delaire Graff Chardonnay Banghoek Reserve is always a treat for the palate.
TASTING NOTES:
Elegant with layered nuances of vanilla, peaches and honeycomb. A
hint of minerality adds to lingering finish.
An uncharacteristically cold and wet start to the growing season
ensured good dormancy in the vines, while an early and warm January
brought the ripening period forward. Reds delivered dark colour and
impressive structure quite early in the harvest, balanced by higher-than average acidity. Overall, a promising vintage.
From Delaire Graff Estate mountain vineyards, the grapes were
handpicked in the early hours over various ripening periods. Picking
criteria was based on flavour to ensure optimal sugar concentration and
balance of acidity
