Kleine Zalze Cellar Selection Chardonnay

The Kleine Zalze Cellar Chardonnay has a wonderfully fruity bouquet offering notes of limey fruit curd, apple blossom and pear flavours. This pure varietal Chardonnay from South Africa is very balanced on the palate, showing a fine minerality and a stimulating acidity. The finish is long and harmonious.

After the harvest of the fully ripe grapes, the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks, remaining in contact with the skin. After fermentation, the wine remained in contact with the yeast for four months, giving the Kleine Zalze Cellar Chardonnay more complexity and fullness.

You’ll enjoy discovering the Kleine Zalze Cellar Chardonnay with fish, various pasta dishes, chicken and fresh, light salads.

Das südafrikanische Weingut Kleine Zalze, mit deutschen Wurzeln, besteht seit 300 Jahren. Es war immer in Familienbesitz und die hervorragenden Weine des Weinguts lassen auf die fleißige und innovative Entwicklung schließen, die das Weingut Kleine Zalze zu dem gemacht hat, was es heute darstellt. Ein Aushängeschild für südafrikanische Weine, in aller Welt beliebt und begehrt.

Kobus Basson, der heutige Chef des modernen Weinguts, hat seine Philosophie so erklärt: „Eine Kombination der Fruchtaromen und die Intensität der ‚Neuen Welt‘ mit der Eleganz und Struktur der ‚Alten Welt‘ sind der Erfolg für Weine mit Charakter, Komplexität und Balance“. Nach diesem Motto produzierte Weine präsentiert er auf internationalen Wettbewerben, bei denen er immer wieder Goldmedaillen für seine akribisch vinifizierten Weine mit nach Hause nimmt.

Die Strategie im Weinberg ist einfach. Der Erfolg des Winzers beginnt im Weinberg, dort wird das Fundament für große Weine errichtet. Bassons sorgfältige Gutsverwaltung sorgt für umfangreiche, natürliche Ressourcen. Seine innovative, zeitgerechte Arbeit im Weinberg, angefangen bei der Auslaubung und Ertragsreduzierung, über selektive Anpflanzung, Bodenverbesserung, dem Terroir und der Sorte entsprechend, sowie der sorgsame Umgang mit dem Lesegut, bis hin zur Weiterverarbeitung, sichert den Erfolg der Kleinen Zalze.

Seine Weißweine, Rotweine und Cuvées sind legendär.
