Crystallum The Agnes Chardonnay 2019 has 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.
The Agnes Chardonnay is named after our Great Grandmother, Agnes Floyd, who arrived in South Africa at the tender age of 14. Sturdy in build and character, she is reputed to be the first lady to have had a driver’s licence in the city of Cape Town. This multiple vineyard blend is made to reflect the resilience and strength of Agnes, with each vineyard contributing complexity to the final wine.
Vinification
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.
