Balance Chardonnay 2023 Dry white Wine brings citrus, pear and pineapple together with buttery notes and a gentle oak character. 🍐 It is a dry white wine from South Africa’s Western Cape, made for those who enjoy Chardonnay with both fruit and a richer flavour profile. The combination makes it a welcoming choice for a leisurely dinner, especially when the food has a creamy sauce or a little richness of its own. The 750 ml bottle has 12.5% alcohol and a practical screw cap.
This is the Winemaker’s Selection range from Balance, produced by Overhex Wines International. Its Chardonnay identity is clear in the interplay of orchard fruit, tropical fruit and buttery nuances. 🍇 Rather than serving it ice cold, give the aromas a little room to unfold. We recommend 10–12°C in a white-wine glass. Start with a small pour and let the wine gradually open up as you enjoy the meal; the recommended temperature is our serving advice.
The winemaking uses stainless-steel tanks with French oak staves during fermentation, followed by time on the lees. This is oak contact in tank, so it should not be presented as barrel maturation. Total maturation time is not specified. The resulting style is a useful option when you want oak influence alongside an expressive fruit profile. 🪵
