Tasting Notes
Yellow stone fruit with hints of butterscotch are prominent on the nose. The palate displays minerality and grapefruit finishing with a long zesty acidity.

In The Cellar
Our new cold room allowed us to ferment and age our chardonnay under temperature controlled fermentation and aging conditions. The juice was fermented in 300L French Oak barrels and aged on the lees for 8 months. 80% New oak and 20% older oak was used.
Additional Information
Kapokberg translated as “snowy mountain”. In days gone, this hill, covered in white Spring flowers, resembled a snow capped mountain. At 459m above sea level, it is the highest hill at Groote Post and bears the name of our vineyard selection wines.
