Maturation:
Unoaked: wild-yeast fermentation in steel, 6 months on the lees
Winemaking process:
Hand-picked Chardonnay from low-yielding coastal vineyards around Stellenbosch is fermented spontaneously with wild yeasts in stainless steel, with no oak. The wine then rests on its lees for several months, gaining texture and nutty notes. False Bay is the sister label of Waterkloof, made by the same cellar team.
Vinoteka's note
Crisp, unoaked Chardonnay from a single coastal Stellenbosch vineyard, fermented with wild yeasts in steel and kept six months on the lees for a nutty, toasty touch. Pale straw with green flashes; green apple, lemon zest, pear and wet stone; intense yet delicate right through to the dry, lively finish. Serve at 12–14 °C with roast chicken, creamy pasta or grilled prawns.
