Bongani Chardonnay Swartsland
A chardonnay from the Western Cape Swartland region of South Africa. Bongani Chardonnay Swartsland is a creamy and elegant wine. It has an elegant balance between acidity and sweetness as well as, with a fine touch from the five months aging in oak barrels. The Chardonnay grape really comes into its own in this wine.
Elegant straw yellow in the glass with beautiful golden streaks. In the fragrance flow notes of citrus, green apples and melted butter. The wine has a creamy, delicious and full flavor without being violent. In the taste you will also find the same notes as in the scent, which is also complemented by a nice balance between sweetness and acidity. A beautiful and harmonious wine, where the oak is finely integrated into a long and persistent aftertaste.
Bongani Chardonnay is a great choice for light dishes, such as salads, pasta, fish and poultry.
Served at a temperature of 6-8ºC.
More about the area and the producer:
Swartland - "black earth", is named after the local dark "Rhino bush", which, especially from a distance, makes the landscape look dark. The Swartsland area is one of the newer wine areas in South Africa, just 50 km. north of Cape Town. The area is cultivated according to traditional regulations, and the fields are only irrigated sporadically. In recent years, Swartland has gained great recognition for their wines, which are of absolute top quality.
The wine:
The vines for Bongani Chardonnay grow in the well-drained fields of the Swartland. The soil is characterized by slate and granite. The grapes are harvested in the early morning hours in mid-February. After the harvest, the grapes are brought immediately to the winery, where they are de-stemmed and pressed carefully, so as to avoid crushing the seeds. The grape pomace is filtered from the day after harvest, so that the must has been able to rest overnight. The must is transferred to stainless steel fermentation tanks. For the next three to four weeks, the wine is fermented at a low temperature - approx. 18 degrees. For the next five months, the wine ages in oak casks before it is bottled and put on the market.
