CrystallumThe Agnes Chardonnay 2019
About this product
Sourced from five vineyards in the Hemel-en-Aarde and Overberg regions. Produced using the
traditional method of transferring the whole grape clusters straight from harvesting into the press
and running the juice off into a settling tank. Fermented and aged in 228 and 500-litre French oak
barrels, 10% new. Naturally fermented in barrel, where it remains for 9 months before bottling. No
SO2 or enzymes are added prior to fermentation
A strong expression of the outstanding fruit quality from various corners of the ’19 harvest. The
palate shows the signature lime peel, candied lemon and butterscotch along with a distinctly more
tropical nose of litchi, pineapple and toffee apple. A rich and coating mouthfeel leads to a lingering
finish balanced by a crisp acidic zip

Medium bodied white wines have a lightly textured mouthfeel with moderate flavour impact. Often pale lemon coloured to pale gold.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.
