2024 Lanzerac Mrs English Chardonnay

£30.00

Introducing the 2024 Lanzerac Mrs. English Chardonnay, a single-vineyard treasure from the Jonkershoek Valley. This Heritage Range new release exudes vibrant citrus and creamy brioche, showcasing the finesse earned from 29-year-old vines nurtured at 375 m above sea level.

What makes Mrs. English exceptional is its hands-on viticulture with low yields, hand-pruning, and selective harvest. Ideal for Chardonnay aficionados seeking depth and elegance.

Winemaking:

Whole bunches are gently crushed without destemming, then settled for 48 hours at 12–14?C. The clarified must is racked into French oak barrels (40% new) inoculated with diverse yeast strains; one-third ferments naturally. After sulphuring, the wine matures for 12 months with weekly stirring to build weight and nuance.

Pairing Suggestions:

Pair with smoked salmon blinis or creamy chicken tagliatelle for a classic match. Vegetarian options such as roasted cauliflower steaks with almond gremolata also complement its silky texture and citrus lift.

Tasting Note:

The 2024 Mrs. English opens with bright lemon zest and white peach aromas, followed by notes of toasted almond and vanilla. On the palate, lively acidity balances a rich core of ripe melon and brioche, finishing with a long, zesty aftertaste.

Jonkershoek Valley, Stellenbosch, South Africa
