Asara VC Unwooded Chardonnay 2023
Chardonnay
Description
Produced by Asara Wine Estate & Hotel, the Vineyard Collection Unwooded Chardonnay 2023 reflects an approachable expression of Stellenbosch Chardonnay with minimal oak influence. Asara’s vineyards lie in the heart of Stellenbosch, where the combination of cooling breezes, varied soils, and a maritime-influenced climate helps maintain vibrant natural acidity and clean fruit character. This unoaked style is fermented and matured in stainless steel, allowing the varietal’s bright citrus and stone fruit flavours to sing without heavy oak overlay. The result is a refreshing, fruit-driven white that pairs beautifully with lighter fare and everyday occasions.
Colour: Pale lemon-gold with clarity that hints at freshness and youth.
Nose: Lifted aromas of green apple, lemon zest and white peach, supported by subtle floral notes and a mineral edge.
Palate: Crisp and refreshing, with clean citrus and orchard fruit flavours. The unoaked profile lets the purity of the Chardonnay shine — juicier lemon and pear dominate, with a hint of underlying minerality and gentle texture from lees contact.
Finish: Light and zesty, with lingering citrus zest and a clean, refreshing finish that invites another sip.

Asara VC Unwooded Chardonnay 2023
- Food Pairing : Asara VC Unwooded Chardonnay 2023 pairs effortlessly with a range of everyday dishes thanks to its bright acidity and clean fruit profile. Try it alongside grilled prawns with lemon and herbs, where the wine’s crisp citrus freshness complements the seafood’s natural sweetness. It also works well with creamy pastas or a fresh green salad topped with roasted chicken — the wine’s lean frame and fruit clarity balance richer, creamy textures. For a South African favourite, enjoy it with smoked snoek pâté on toast or crayfish tails, where the lively acidity cuts through richness and refreshes the palate.
- Drink before: Best enjoyed in the near term (1–3 years) to savour its fresh fruit expression and vibrant acidity.
