Chardonnay

This Chardonnay pairs well with rich dishes such as creamy pasta, roast chicken, and grilled seafood. It also complements cheeses like Gruyere and Cheddar.

The vineyards are situated in Franschhoek Valley, benefiting from a unique terroir with cool mountain air and decomposed granite soils. These conditions support slower ripening, enhancing the wine’s freshness and acidity.

Aged in French oak barrels for a balanced touch of oak, adding structure and enhancing the wine’s nuanced flavors.

The wine undergoes fermentation in a combination of stainless steel and French oak barrels, with partial malolactic fermentation to build creaminess without sacrificing acidity. Aging in oak allows for subtle integration of wood, contributing to its depth and complexity.
