BOUCHARD FINLAYSON Chardonnay 'Missionvale' - Walker Bay, Cape South Coast 2020/22 Bottle/nc VGN/SUS (losufn)

Description

The Hemel-en-Aarde Valley and its associated terroir has proven itself to be one of the Cape’s most treasured Chardonnay locations. The name Missionvale stems from the mission hospital established on the domain property in the early 19th Century. All grapes are harvested from this Estate to create one of the finest Chardonnays, taking advantage of the valley’s cool maritime climate to produce a wine that balances textbook minerality and citrus notes on a foundation of well-integrated oak richness. Fermented and aged in both oak barrels and terracotta amphorae, it’s a fine example of the ongoing innovation in the Bouchard Finlayson cellar.
