Chardonnay - Barista

The elegant Chardonnay from Barista flows into the glass with a bright golden yellow. On the nose, this Barista white wine reveals all kinds of peaches, gooseberries and lemons. As if that were not already impressive, maturation in small wooden barrels also adds notes of vanilla.

This wine delights with its elegantly dry taste profile. It was bottled with an exceptionally low residual sugar content. As you would expect from a wine at the upscale entry-level price range, this South African, despite all its dryness, enchants with the finest balance. Flavor does not necessarily require sugar. On the palate, this well-balanced white wine is characterized by an extremely light texture. On the finish, this youthful white wine from the Coastal Region wine-growing area impresses with good length. Again, nuances of peach and gooseberry appear.

Vinification of the Barista Chardonnay

This balanced white wine from South Africa is vinified from the Chardonnay grape variety. After the grape harvest, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by several months of aging on the fine lees before the wine is finally bottled.

Food recommendation for the Chardonnay from Barista

This South African white wine is best enjoyed moderately chilled at 11 - 13°C. It is the perfect companion to fruity endive salad, asparagus salad with quinoa, or fried trout with ginger and pear.
