2022 Ferrum Chardonnay, Crystallum, Walker Bay

2022 Ferrum Chardonnay, Crystallum, Walker Bay

From a single vineyard owned by Crystallum, this is so lean and focussed, and is all about mineral complexity and apple blossom notes. There's a little smokiness, and a hint of reduction. This is a Chardonnay built for the long haul.

Tasting notes

Ferrum hails from a vineyard just beyond the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge that was grafted over from Sauvignon Blanc to Chardonnay in 2018. Leesy, layered and complex, it combines aromas of oatmeal and patisserie spices with a palate of kelp, oyster shell and lemon zest. 2024-29
