Description
The Stellenbosch Reserve Moederkerk Chardonnay is rare venture into white wine production for the team at Rust en Vrede. A distinctive Chardonnay with an inviting nose of lime, lemon curd and buttered popcorn. The palate shows complex citrus aromas, from fresh lemon and lime to orange zest with a hint of mint. Flavours of walnuts and brioche add depth, balanced by a lively acidity that lifts a creamy softness on the mid-palate. A dry, savoury finish begs for another sip!
The wines of the Stellenbosch Reserve pay homage to iconic buildings of Stellenbosch town. These landmarks represent the legacy of the town, in the same way that the wines represent classic varietal expressions of the Stellenbosch terroir. Through a combination of wine, architecture and heritage the wines can tell a story that is uniquely Stellenbosch.
The Building: The Mother Church (Moederkerk)
The beautiful Moederkerk is an unpretentious yet prominent example of Gothic Revival architecture. Located in the heart of Stellenbosch and surrounded by oaks, its familiar steeple watches over residents going about their daily business. The clean, striking beauty of the ‘Mother Church’ resembles the bright, elegant 2020 Chardonnay.
Alcohol: 13.43% ABV
