Tasting note
Perfumed floral notes waft from the glass to reveal enticing orange blossoms with buttermilk, lime and green apples. A strong acidity lends lightness to the medium-bodied palate, with citrus fruits, Granny Smith apples and pears. A subtle oakwood component of caramel and vanilla gives the wine complexity and body. The spicy finish has a lemony taste that is interspersed with a salty note. Translated with www.deepl.com/Translator (free version)
Culinary recommendation
Goes very well with a fennel-orange salad with olives and raw matinated salmon.
Vinification
The beautiful Moederkerk is an unpretentious but striking example of Gothic reconstruction architecture. Located in the heart of Stellenbosch and surrounded by oak trees, its famous church tower watches over the inhabitants who go about their daily business. The clear, distinctive beauty of the “Mother Church” resembles the bright, elegant 2019 Chardonnay. The grapes are harvested by hand, partially destemmed and one-third pressed as whole grapes. Fermentation takes place both in oak barrels and in stainless steel tanks. The fine yeast is stirred every three weeks and partial malolactic fermentation is allowed to give the wine texture and character. The maturation takes place for six months in French oak barrels, using 13% new oak.
