2024 Mappinga Chardonnay

Vinification
Sustainably grown from our estate vineyards, the grapes were handpicked from selected low yielding vines before being chilled in our cool rooms for 24 hours. Whole-bunch pressed, then wild-yeast fermented in 100% large format French oak barrels for ten months. The finest barrels are then painstakingly selected to bear our flagship 'Mappinga' label.

Tasting Notes
This generously complex wine showcases white peach, nectarine, and grapefruit aromas leading to delightful flavours of grilled hazelnut and finger lime, all punctuated by a slaty, mineral-driven acidity. The wine is tight and racy with fine oak tannins to support this powerfully structured Chardonnay. A wine which will reward careful cellaring.
