(aged for 13 months in 100% new barrels) Pale yellow. Subtle aromas of orchard fruits and minerals, with hints of flint and green fruits. Dense and plush but quite tightly wound today, with mineral flavors dominating fruit. Very vibrant, juicy chardonnay in need of at least a few years of bottle aging (Rensburg bottled some of this in magnums "for the long term"). Grown on decomposed granite with clay and stones, in the lower portion of the Schaapenberg vineyard.
