Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Chardonnay. The grapes are sourced from a single vineyard in the cool Elgin region. The vineyard is only one hectare and was planted on Table Mountain Shale soil. Migliarina Wines is the only producer receiving grapes from this vineyard and only the best portion is selected for the Single Vineyard Chardonnay.
Taste Profile:Light yellow with a tinge of green. On the nose, a touch of vanilla with nectarine and ginger. On the palate, the wine has a hint of oak with a fresh acidity and long lingering minerality on the finish
Winemaking process: The grapes are hand harvested at 23 balling and delivered in small lug boxes to the cellar. The grapes are whole bunch pressed, fermented in tank with a small portion fermented in barrel. After fermentation the wine is racked into French, Hungarian and American oak barrels and then matured for 14 months. The wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation to keep its freshness and primary fruit. The wine was not protein stabilised, cold stabilised or filtered.
WINES FROM UNIQUE REGIONS & BOUTIQUE WINERIES
Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
