This single vineyard lies on the higher slopes of the Helderberg, on weathered granite, and is influenced by cool breezes from False Bay and mountain air at night. Nine Chardonnay clones have been planted at high density for almost 30 years; the vines are farmed by hand and without irrigation. The must ferments with a wild, vineyard-specific yeast strain, without enzymes or fining agents. The wine matures for 11 to 12 months in French oak barrels. Aromas of lemongrass, peach skin, mandarin peel, baked apple, marzipan and honey combine with taut acidity, mineral-saline tension, grippy texture and a dry, savoury finish. The wine is bottled unfiltered. ([longridge.co.za](https://longridge.co.za/product/clos-du-ciel/?utm_source=openai))
