Moederkerk Chardonnay 2025
€16,38
Description
Named for Stellenbosch’s Moederkerk, the Stellenbosch Reserve Moederkerk Chardonnay 2025 takes its identity from a familiar town landmark: the church stands amid oak trees, its steeple watching over daily life. The grapes are hand-harvested and whole-bunch pressed; 75% ferments in oak and the remainder in stainless steel. Regular lees stirring and partial malolactic fermentation build texture, before six months in French oak, mostly seasoned barrels.
The Moederkerk was built in 1723 to replace an earlier Stellenbosch church lost to fire in 1710. The estate describes this Chardonnay as bright and elegant, and the 2025 wine carries the Wine of Origin Stellenbosch designation. Its citrus and blossom character, creamy lees-derived texture and restrained oak treatment bring a fresh, polished expression to a wine rooted in its namesake town.
Set it out as the evening slows: a shared table, warm light and conversation that lingers over each glass, from its lemony freshness to its softer, savoury finish.
TASTING NOTES
The Stellenbosch Reserve Moederkerk Chardonnay 2025 opens with lemon meringue, quince and white blossom, lifted by a subtle stony note. Lemon curd and golden apple lead across a medium-bodied palate, with creamy texture and hints of ginger and butterscotch. The balance of freshness and gentle richness carries through to a smooth finish.
FOOD PAIRING
Grilled fish suits the wine’s fresh citrus and mineral notes; roast chicken complements its creamy texture and gentle warmth.
