Grapes | Chardonnay |
Country/Region | South Africa, Franschhoek |
A Prestige Cuvee, the ultimate expression of Colmant.
Absolu Zero Dosage NV is 100% Chardonnay with the fruit coming from Franschhoek (65%) and Robertson (35%). A portion of the base wine (15%) is fermented in French oak barrels while a further 15% of reserve wine from previous vintages is also blended in. These techniques contribute to the complexity and elegance of the finished product as does the extended time on lees, 85 months minimum or seven years in laymans terms!
Colmant Absolu NV is the pinnacle of the range: a Blanc de Blanc with zero dosage and extended lees maturation of 85 months. A poised balance of maturity, complexity and fresh vivacity.
