Product Description

Restless River Ava Marie Chardonnay 2022 is 100% Chardonnay from the oldest Chardonnay vineyard in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde, hand-harvested and whole-bunch pressed, then fermented with indigenous yeast in French oak and Tuscan terracotta amphora on lees for 12 months. 1225

Bright lemon rind, grapefruit, honey and spice lead the nose, with struck-match and mineral notes framing a textural, precise palate. Recommended for South Africa Chardonnay drinkers seeking mineral tension and savory depth over riper, fruit-forward styles. 1225
