"Kendall Jackson and its South African winemaker Graham Weerts set out to make a top of the range Chardonnay, using fruit from vineyards in Stellenbosch, Overberg and Robertson. This is the best release yet, with a winning combination of stone and citrus fruit, subtle oak and a taut, mineral-edged finish. 2019-24." – Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2018, 95/100

Located in the Stellenbosch region, the estate owned Fijnbosch Vineyard sits at 524 meters in elevation. The vineyard includes eight hectares of vines planted on steep terrain against the slopes of the Groot Drakenstein in the Banghoek Valley. The high elevation, clay soils and fynbos surrounding the vines contribute to the Chardonnay’s exceptional natural acidity and complexity. Resting high in the mountains of Overberg at 757 meters, the Kaaimansgat Vineyard literally translates to “crocodile’s lair.” The E . Bruwer Vineyard is located in the Robertson region, where Chardonnay grapes thrive on the pockets of limestone soil. The elevation of this vineyard is 174 meters.
