The Delaire Graff Chardonnay Banghoek Reserve is from Delaire Graff Estate mountain vineyards. All the grapes were handpicked in the early hours over various ripening periods. Once back at the winery the grapes were whole bunch pressed and barrel fermented. Maturation took place in 225 litre French oak barrels (40% new) for 10 months. This Chardonnay is elegant with layered nuances of vanilla, peaches and honeycomb. A hint of minerality adds to a long, lingering finish.[#intro]An elegant oak-aged chardonnay from the mountain vineyards of Delaire Graff...[/intro]
