About this Item

2023 “Naja Nivea” Chardonnay
36 (6 x 6) 750ml

“I like to keep this winery focused on the vineyards, on the quality of the grapes and the winemaking process. It’s very much a family affair, it’s myself, my wife and two children, and then only one or two key staff members.” - David Finlayson

100% Chardonnay

Wine of Origin: Stellenbosch
Winemaker: David Finlayson

Grown on terrace vineyards originally hand-cut into the hillside, these vines follow a Burgundy-styled, low, single-wire trellis system. They are organically farmed and dry-land cultivated, resulting in very low yields. The wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation. Fermented and matured for 12 months in a new 300 litre D&J barrel before being bottled.

Tasting Notes: Honeysuckle and fresh bread on the nose yield citrus and vanilla-pod, floral flavours on the palate with a fresh, long aftertaste.

Ready for drinking in 2028.
