Chardonnay

Light meat dishes, extravagant salads and cuisine with a touch of spice works well with this Chardonnay.

Discover a place of whales and wonder, where wines are born from rocky limestone soil in a remote and unspoilt corner of the Cape South Coast. Here vines overcome fierce elements to create fruit with singular character and depth of flavour. Beyond evocative wine, Baleia is also about finding harmony between self, others and nature in pursuit of life's perfect equilibrium. Grown in pure limestone soil with extremely high mineral content, which results in a lively wine layered with fine structure.

Then matured in Amphora and French barrique (3rd and 4th fill) at a ratio of 50/50 for a total of 11 months.

Fermented in a combination of older French barrique and Amphora for approximately 2 weeks.

Situated on the lime-rich soils on the cliff banks of the Duivenhoks River, Baleia is a unique terroir standing alone on this beautiful district of the Cape South Coast. A stone’s throw away from Sebastian’s Bay and the towns of Vermaklikheid and Stilbaai, the wines smell of the ocean!
