About this Item

2015 Elandskloof & Stellenbosch Chardonnay
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

This lot consists of 3 bottles of Elandskloof 2015 and 3 bottles of Stellenbosch Chardonnay 2015.

Leeu Passant Stellenbosch Chardonnay 2015

In their search for special Chardonnay sites, Chris & Andrea fell in love with this exciting vineyard on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountain. It has a Maritime Influence that leads to a clean, precise bouquet of citrus blossom, flint and salinity. The palate is packed with citrus zest and crushed shells and has a textured, vibrant and long finish. Only 3 360 bottles were produced of this their maiden vintage of this highly sought after wine.

Leeu Passant Elandskloof Chardonnay 2015

Chris & Andrea only ever produced 1 680 bottles of Chardonnay from this high altitude Kaaimansgat vineyard and this is a rare opportunity to secure a few bottles. It possesses a calm coolness, with stone fruit and lemon biscuits on the nose. The palate has a creamy, limey, citrus character with exotic spice notes and is full but balanced by a fresh, tight finish. This profound wine tastes as fresh and precise as it did on release and has many years ahead of it.
