Discription

Paserene Bright 2023 is an elegant and complex Chardonnay that captures the vibrant energy of the Western Cape. Grown in deep sandy soils, this wine offers a refined balance of ripe stone fruit, citrus zest, mineral freshness, and delicate oak integration.

On the palate, it is layered and expressive, with bright peach and citrus notes supported by a soft, luxurious mouthfeel. A crisp, lingering finish brings freshness and elegance to every sip.
Aromatics

Shimmering with a bright green-gold hue, this Chardonnay boasts a youthful nose, hints ripe yellow peach. Followed by citrus aromas. Subtle secondary notes of sea spray and chalk add intriguing complexity, complemented by the gentle touch of oak. The palate is beautifully balanced, with a soft, luxurious mouthfeel and crisp acidity that extends the flavors into a lingering finish.
Winemaking

The grapes were gently pressed to extract their juice before embarking on a natural fermentation in oak barrels. The barrels are stirred once a week. To add a touch of complexity and richness, 10% of the wine was aged in new oak barrels, while the remaining 90% matured in neutral oak.
Pairings

Pairs beautifully with refined, flavourful dishes such as:

  • Grilled white fish with lemon butter sauce
  • Creamy coconut or turmeric-based curries
  • Roast chicken with fresh herbs and citrus glaze
  • Seafood dishes
  • Soft cheeses
  • Lightly spiced poultry dishes
