Callender Peak Chardonnay, Ceres Plateau

The nose shows notes of vanilla, toast and some exotic pineapple and lemon nuances. The palate is broad, textured and leesy with hints of honeycomb and some yellow citrus. The acidity is piercing due to no malolactic fermentation in this vintage and gives great focus and backbone to a wine as textured as this. Donovan Rall has been crafting Callendar Peak wine in the Witzenberg Valley for a number of years, guiding the viticulture and refining the vinification with the charateristic flair for which he has become well known.
