Translation missing: en.Tasting notes
The Haute Cabière Collection Amphora Chardonnay is a characterful single-block Chardonnay from Franschhoek. The vines were planted in 1983. Fermented and aged for 12 months in 450-liter clay amphorae, the wine shows a purist style with fine texture and clear fruit. Bright golden in the glass. On the nose tropical fruit with hints of pineapple and white peach, plus fresh notes of lime and citrus as well as a touch of pear, chamomile, and wet stone. On the palate juicy and precise. The mouthfeel is powerful yet elegant, supported by a taut, well-integrated acidity. Amphora-typical, very fine tannins provide grip and form. Aromas of stone fruit, citrus zest, and delicate herbal spice lead into a salty mineral, long finish. Already very accessible now, with potential for several years of bottle aging.

Chardonnay
Chardonnay is one of the world's best-known and most versatile white grape varieties, distinguished by its remarkable adaptability to different climates and soils. In the glass, it often appears a brilliant yellow with golden highlights. Its flavour profile ranges from fresh notes of green apple, citrus fruit and mineral hints in cooler regions to more opulent aromas of tropical fruit, hazelnut and vanilla when matured in oak in warmer growing regions.
Chardonnay's structure can range from lean and refreshingly lively to full-bodied and creamy and supple , often accompanied by moderate to pronounced acidity. It is cultivated in almost all wine-producing countries worldwide, from Burgundy through California to Australia.
This grape variety is an excellent companion to a wide range of dishes, including fish, poultry and white meat, and adapts perfectly depending on the style.
