Argento Gualtallary Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2022
' Bodega Argento, the largest producer of organic wines in South America, have been firmly focused on sustainable production and top quality standards for decades. This wine is made with grapes from a parcel that has sandy soil and calcium carbonate beneath. A fresh and elegant Chardonnay with aromas of citrus, wild thyme, and white fruits. In the mouth, it has a good structure and a crisp finish. 50% was made with whole bunch fermentation and the rest with direct pressing. No malolactic fermentation. It is then carefully aged in 5,000-litre untoasted French oak foudres . '
Vergelegen Estate White 2023
The flagship white of Vergelegen, this blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon reflects the estate’s most prized vineyard sites. The Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from the windswept slopes of the Schaapenberg, while the Semillon comes from the farm’s oldest vineyard blocks, rooted in shale and alluvial soils. Winemaking Hand-picked and carefully sorted, the grapes were whole-bunch pressed and fermented in a mix of barrels and foudres. The Sauvignon Blanc component received skin contact prior to pressing, while both varieties underwent partial malolactic fermentation. After 10 months in oak of varying ages, the final blend was assembled to create a wine of depth, elegance and precision. Tasting Notes Elegant and refined with mineral overtones and a flinty core, lifted by bright lemon, crushed rosemary and crisp apple. Complex and structured, with a long, polished finish. Blend 56% Sauvignon Blanc, 44% Semillon Food Pairing Excellent with grilled seafood, herb-crusted chicken or creamy risotto.
