Bottega Soave Classico – 2020
KES4,790
Soave wine is named after the homonymous town founded by the Lombards, also known as Suaves. It is among the first Italian wines for which production area has been limited by a decree, in 1931, and is also the first DOC recognized in Veneto, when DOC “Soave Superiore” was acknowledged. The indication “Classico” is a privilege of Soave produced in the “classical”, original, most ancient area, i.e. the hills of Soave and Monteforte.

NEDERBURG CHARDONNAY
KES1,520The Chardonnay grapes were sourced from top-performing vineyards in Darling and Stellenbosch. These are known as cool climate winegrowing areas, offering the benefit of slower ripening of the grapes to achieve greater flavour intensity. The vines are grown in granite and sandstone soils, resulting in grapes with higher natural acidity, adding to the vibrancy, freshness and longevity of the wine. The vines, ranging in age from 12 to 17 years, and situated on mostly south to south-westerly facing slopes, received supplementary drip irrigation. Grafted onto phylloxera-resistant rootstocks, Richter 99 and 101, the vines yielded an average of 8 to 10 tons per hectare. The Albariño grapes came from Stellenbosch, the Chenin blanc from Swartland, and the Gewürztraminer from Paarl.
