CAPE JAFFA
Unwooded Chardonnay 2009
MOUNT BENSON

The Cape Jaffa range showcases Mount Benson's qualities as a premium wine growing region, with fruit source predominantly from our biodynamic vineyards at Cape Jaffa.

2008 saw a vintage of extremes, with record-breaking temperatures in March proceeded a cooler-than-average February, allowing for gentle ripening. With virtually no rain leading up to vintage, grapes arrived in excellent condition.  Our vibrant chardonnay grapes from our biodynamic vineyard inspired the production of an unwooded style. Tank fermentation and gentle winemaking allowed the unique character of the fruit to shine.

An aromatic blend of tropical fruits including melons, lychees, and hints of pineapple, the palate is complex and fruit-driven with a creamy mouthfeel and a hint of natural fruit sweetness, finishing withwell-balanced acidity.
