Robertson Winery ASHTON VINEYARD Chardonnay RSA
Description: For the first time in many years there were good rains and cold temperatures during winter in Robertson. It was good in that it helped to build up a little ground water, as it was not necessary to irrigate the vines during the winter months. Spring arrived at the beginning of September; overall bud break was very good due to the cold conditions of winter. Night temperatures in October and November were significantly cooler compared to the previous year. This ensured good acidities. The Chardonnay vines are planted higher up against the mountains on gravelly Karoo soils with some clay and lime fractions. The high lime content in the soil ensures a healthy well drained growing medium for our vines. Chardonnay traditionally buds irregularly, therefore pruning only happens at the end of July to ensure even budding. Our harvest started on 28 January 2003. Attention to detail was well managed and has resulted in good potential in the quality of our wines. The Chardonnay grapes were the first grapes harvested in 2003 and were brought to the cellar in the first week of February. Grapes were harvested at a very ripe stage between 23,5º (12 x 75 cl)
