Van Niekerk Vintners Goue Rif Chardonnay 2023

R308.00

The maiden vintage of the Goue Rif! Grapes were sourced from just outside the top border of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley.

100& Chardonnay, naturally fermented and whole-bunch pressed. Gentle batonnage then barrel aged for 10 months

Notes of lemon and orange and freshly baked bread, spice and some leesy complexity on the nose. The palate is old school being rich and round, smooth textured, the acidity well integrated, the finish is gently savoury.

Description

Amongst the windswept hills of the Overberg lies a mythical stretch of land so abundant and fertile, it’s referred to by locals as the “Goue Rif” – meaning golden ridge. While its precise location remains a mystery, every farmer is convinced it lies just beyond their neighbours’ fields.
