A South African alternative to our Mâcon-Solutré
- A variety of chardonnay clones were planted on different slopes, harvested at different ripening levels and all of it fermented and matured in French oak barrels.
- These practices help to achieve natural balance and allow for different textural components which we then blend to achieve finesse and complexity.
- Bold and graceful with fragrances of lemon biscuit and overripe oranges.
- The distinct ravine in the Stellenbosch Kloof ward allows the opportunity to harness the cooling influences from the False Bay on our south and east-facing slopes. This captures the intense flavour compounds found in the grape skins.
- Produced from vines ages 22 - 37 years old.

I go through periods where I crave this wine. It's so rich, buttery and full bodied with delicious hints of tropical fruit it stands up to a lot of richer dishes as well as being incredibly enjoyable by itself. - Tom Brady, OWC
