Cavalli Estate is proud to announce the launch of their Reserve Chardonnay 2022, and we can confidently say it is an exquisite addition to their collection of award-winning wines.
Hand-picked in the early morning, the grapes were whole bunch pressed and settled overnight to achieve good clarity of juice. The juice was then sent to barrel and inoculated in three separate batches, each batch fermenting to completion in barrel and the wine kept on its lees until bottling.
The wine remained in 225L French oak barrels on its lees for 10 months before blending, of which 25% were first fill barrels. The barrels were battonaged monthly, allowing for the flavors to fully develop. During this time, 50% malolactic fermentation took place, offering a delicate buttery character and roundness to the mouthfeel, while the remaining malic acid helps to keep a fresh bright acidity.
This Chardonnay is truly a masterpiece, with notes of lime, orange, and nectarine underpinning a unique tropical hint of pineapple and mango.
The oak is well integrated on the palate, showing as a delicate spice and vanilla, complemented by the tangier taste of lime on the palate. Some buttery brioche adds to the body and mid-palate of the wine, creating a multi-layered taste that is both complex but fresh and enjoyable.
The Cavalli Estate Reserve Chardonnay 2022 is the perfect addition to any wine lover’s collection.
- Its bright acidity and buttery notes make it a versatile wine that can be paired with a range of dishes, from grilled seafood to creamy pasta. This wine is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a romantic dinner for two or a lively dinner party with friends.
