Crystallum Ferrum Chardonnay 2023
R750.00
A touch of flint and a stony minerality makes this a steelier and more linear expression than the maiden vintage, although the palate is sumptuous; key lime pie and a tart lemon curd are cut with grapefruit peel and fresh golden delicious apple. The preserved lemon acidity is both fresh, grippy and saline, giving the wine structure, length and zing.
After an overnight rough-settling, the juice was sent to barrel, with a spontaneous fermentation and ageing taking place over 10 months in 300 and 500-litre barrels, 20% of which were were new oak.
