2022 Blank Bottle Seelug
£34.00
“Seelug means ‘sea air’ in Afrikaans and is so named as you can feel the wind from the Atlantic Ocean in the vineyard. It’s a cool spot facing False Bay, producing a wine with a classic Chardonnay nose of toast, butter and mango. It’s more developed on the palate, which shows honey, stone fruit, toasted pitta bread and a kick of lime acidity. Its chiselled profile really draws you in, as does the seductive vanilla ice cream note on the finish.”
The grapes were picked at optimal ripeness and cooled overnight to 4 degrees celsius. The next morning the grapes were pressed as whole bunches. The juice underwent spontaneous fermentation in older French oak as well as 40% new barrels. Deep winter the wine received one sulfur addition. 10 months on the leese, blended and bottled.
