Wine of the Month: American Chardonnay
built 605 days ago
Tukulu, a member of the Biodiversity & Wine Initiative, has launched its first organic wines, a 2007 Chardonnay and a 2006 Sangiovese, both made from organically certified dryland vines on Papkuilsfontein in Darling and vinified under organic conditions. To be accredited by the Swiss-based Société Générale de Surveillance, the vines had to be farmed organically for at least three years. The Chardonnay was planted in 1998 and the Sangiovese, a year later. Both have been farmed organically since 2001 and deliver low yields.

This superb Chardonnay shows the synergy of an ideally located vineyard with experienced winemaking. The fruit is the produce of a single vineyard that sits at altitude in the cool Eden Valley. Here the grapes ripen slowly, and thoroughly, and the frugal soil over decomposed rock forces the vines to compete vigorously for moisture and nutrients resulting in very low yields of intensely concentrated fruit. The winemaking included fermentation and barrel aging in mostly new and 1 year old French oak barrels.
