Chamonix
Chamonix is a Franschhoek wine estate set against the Mont Rochelle mountain, with vineyards planted to classic French varieties and shaped by cool breezes and stony clay-rich soils. Known for Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc, the estate produces mountain-influenced wines with freshness, structure and clear Franschhoek character.
Description
The Greywacke Pinotage has a deep garnet red colour with tinges of dark violets. The bouquet is complex with scents recalling wild berries, spice, and cherries. On the palate the wine shows a full body and rich dark chocolate with fruit flavours, balanced elegantly by tannins, with a long and lingering finish that reveals a sweetness reminiscent of liquorice.
Food Pairing
This Chardonnay would suit seafood well, for example, fresh grilled kingklip with fennel and roasted tomatoes.
