Singlefile The Vivienne Chardonnay 2021

ray jordan wine review, 97 points

Award-Winning | Powerful & Refined

The Singlefile The Vivienne Chardonnay of 2021 is a striking Great Southern Chardonnay from Denmark, showing just how beautifully this cool-climate pocket can balance power with precision. Sourced from handpicked fruit and crafted with real attention to detail, it opens with lifted floral notes, citrus and white stone fruit, before unfolding into layers of wild ferment complexity, lees savouriness and fine flinty nuance. There is depth here, but it never feels heavy. Instead, the wine carries itself with poise, driven by bright natural acidity and a fine mineral line that gives shape and length to the palate.

What makes the Singlefile The Vivienne Chardonnay 2021 especially appealing is its sense of quiet authority. It already shows plenty of class in the glass, yet still feels like a wine with more to reveal over time. Subtle oak support, textural richness and cool-climate tension all come together in a style that feels complete, elegant and confidently built for the cellar. This is a serious Chardonnay for lovers of refined white wine, and one that speaks clearly of both the Singlefile house style and the strength of Denmark as a premium Chardonnay region.

Tasting Notes

  • Colour: Bright, clear, pale gold.
  • Aromatics: Initially floral and citrus notes evolve as the wine breathes, revealing layers of funky wild ferment and flinty character, complemented by lees-derived complexity.
  • Palate: A deep and powerful wine with clarity and precision. Its mineral acidity supports the flavours, creating a wine that is both intense and finely structured. It has great length, with a textured, precise finish.
  • Finish: Long and crisp, with a clean, mineral-driven finish that leaves a lasting impression of finesse and power.

Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Grilled Seafood: The wine’s acidity and complexity would pair beautifully with grilled seafood, such as grilled prawns or lobster.
  • Roast Chicken: Try with roast chicken, especially with citrusy or herb-infused accompaniments.
  • Soft Cheeses: Brie, camembert, or a selection of soft cheeses would be an excellent complement to the wine’s texture and depth.

Best Serving Temp:

Serve at 10-12°C to allow its complexity to unfold without losing the freshness and vibrancy.

Winemaking

  • Harvesting: The fruit was handpicked across three separate harvests from the end of February to March 25, 2021, ensuring each parcel of fruit was fully ripe.
  • Fermentation: The wine was fermented on full solids in new and seasoned French oak barrels with natural yeasts, allowing the wild ferment to express itself and create complexity.
  • Maturation: The wine matured on lees for approximately five months without sulphur, with some spontaneous malolactic fermentation. It spent a total of 10 months in oak, followed by an additional 18 months in bottle to develop further character before release.

Technical Data

  • Alcohol: 12.9%
  • pH: 3.10
  • Titratable Acidity: 7.8 g/L
  • Cellaring: Up to 20 years for optimal aging potential.

Vintage Conditions

The 2021 growing season in Denmark started with a warm spring, leading to an earlier ripening period. Temperate days and cool nights helped preserve the natural acidity while allowing full flavours to develop. The cool climate and dry conditions leading up to harvest resulted in a vintage with exceptional balance.
