Crafted to reflect Kuitpo’s cool-climate terroir, the 2023 K1 Chardonnay emphasizes purity and elegance. Gentle fruit handling, partial malolactic fermentation, and French oak maturation preserve aromatics and enhance complexity.

Vintage:
A very cool, even 2023 season allowed optimal ripeness across all varieties. Exceptional fruit quality, marking the third consecutive cool vintage.

Nose:
Ripe stone fruit and zesty lemon, layered with coconut, creamy vanilla, and toasted hazelnut.

Palate:
Yellow apple, yellow peach, and pie crust, supported by almond meal and a hint of nutmeg.

Pairing:
Ideal with rotisserie porchetta and roasted root vegetables.

Cellaring:
Drink now or cellar confidently until 2031.
