Hasher Family Wines captures the terroir of the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley perfectly with Marimist Chardonnay 2023. Grown on weathered granite clay and quartzite just five kilometres from the Atlantic, it is a taut yet wonderfully creamy Chardonnay full of energy.
The glass opens with a complex bouquet of white pear, apricot and delicate citrus blossom. Subtle notes of toasted coconut flakes and elegant spice follow, shaped by nine months of ageing on fine lees in French oak barrels.
On the palate, a generous, dense texture meets lively freshness and an invigorating 5.6 grams of acidity. Complete malolactic fermentation lends it a silky richness before it finishes with a zesty lemon finale and a cool, saline edge.
Serve this wine chilled at 8 to 12 °C to experience its full depth and elegance. It is a masterful partner for refined seafood dishes and pairs beautifully with pan-fried scallops in lemon butter or creamy shellfish risotto.
