The Mullineux Leeu Passant Stellenbosch Chardonnay comes from a small plot and exudes fine citrus aromas of grapefruit and notes of flint. On the palate it is firm, linear, mineral and focused with a fresh finish.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were harvested by hand and pressed as whole bunches in the refrigerator without destemming. The only addition during the production of the wine is 25ppm SO2 (sulphur dioxide), which is added to the grape juice before fermentation. The fermentation starts spontaneously with the yeasts present in the cellar and lasts 42 days. Malolactic fermentation followed by a 12-month ageing in 225-litre barrels (30% of which are new) of French oak.
