Description

Lord’s Wines Three Barrel Chardonnay

The Lord’s Wines Three Barrel Chardonnay is a sophisticated, rich and genuinely premium South African white wine. It offers exceptional depth and lasting character in every glass. Crafted from select Chardonnay grapes grown at 500 metres above sea level, it draws on the cool-climate terroir of Lord’s Wines for outstanding balance and finesse.

Above all, this Chardonnay suits those who appreciate both depth and precision. It rewards patience and a genuine appreciation for barrel fermentation and extended lees ageing.

Ultimately, the Three Barrel Chardonnay represents the pinnacle of white winemaking at Lord’s — complex, elegant and built for special occasions and fine dining.

Winemaking & Craftsmanship

The winemaking team ferments and matures this wine in French oak barrels for 18 months. As a result, it develops remarkable richness and genuine complexity throughout.

In addition, extended lees contact enhances the texture significantly. This creates a layered, refined mouthfeel that is immediately apparent in every glass. Furthermore, the cool-climate origins of the fruit retain natural freshness throughout barrel maturation. Consequently, this wine delivers a level of balance and sophistication that is genuinely rare in South African white wines.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, delicate aromas of ripe pear and citrus zest unfold with quiet elegance. In addition, subtle toasted oak adds warmth and a distinctive barrel-fermented character.

On the palate, the wine is rich yet refined. Stone fruit and vanilla flavours are complemented by a gentle, lingering minerality. Moreover, this minerality carries through to a long and polished finish — a direct reflection of 18 months in French oak.

Finally, new layers reveal themselves with every sip, making this a deeply satisfying wine throughout the evening.
