Product Notes

Crystallum Ferrum Chardonnay is a truly exquisite South African wine. Crafted from Walker Bay fruit, this sophisticated wine boasts a shimmering, pale-gold hue. A complex bouquet unfolds with fragrances of crisp apple, ripe pear and delicate white peach, nuanced by just a hint of smoky oak. Gently tangy acidity is beautifully balanced by luxurious creaminess on the palate. Lees ageing lends depth, adding a fine, mineral texture. Rich in taste yet light in body, this wine is an elegant tribute to the traditional Burgundian style. Suitable for aging, Ferrum offers an enjoyable drinking experience for Chardonnay enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, this single vineyard Chardonnay reveals aromas of lime leaf, sea spray, and lemongrass, as well as a subtle smokiness. The palate is energetic with real tension and balance. Rich textured is coupled with mouth-watering acidity and a long, layered finish.
