2009 Boschendal "Jean le Long Prestige Cuvee" (Western Cape, SA)

Varietal: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir

Region: Western Cape, South Africa

Female Winemaker            Black Producer

The Chardonnay grapes for this rare cuvée (blend  of finest base wines) is exclusively selected from high altitude cooler climate  vineyards, which are meticulously tended to for ultra-premium quality. The seductive pale gold colour, with a flourish of tiny bubbles, capture the imagination immediately, followed by enticing lemon cream, beeswax, pink grapefruit and  toasty brioche  aromas  that  persist onto  an intricate  palate. Here the beautiful citrus core of lemon and orange zest opens up, along with rich roast nuts and  flattering  minerality finishing with extraordinary length and freshness.
