2023 Tierhoek Chardonnay, W.O. Piekenierskloof
£25.00
5 in stock
Description
The 2023 Tierhoek Chardonnay is made in collaboration with Cape superstar winemaker Chris Williams, and marks the resurrection of this special wine growing estate. Produced from 20 year old vines that are starting to show their true potential, this fabulous Chardonnay is fermented in a mixture of seasoned French oak and terracotta eggs, before being transferred into barrel and amphora for ageing. At the time of writing, this is a one off collaboration, (with the 2024 being made at Hamilton Russell), and therefore destined to become a piece of history and a collectors item. The wine itself displays the quality of the fruit obtained from these mountain vineyards and also the winemaking style of Chris Williams, whose stints at Delaire, Meerlust and other notable wineries, has earned him an enviable reputation as one of the Cape’s finest winemakers.
Still young, but showing nicely now, this beautiful wine will continue to age gracefully for years and we can only urge you to grab some whilst it’s available.
