All grapes from the estate in the Franschhoek region, planted on South, South-West facing slopes.

The grapes are pressed and after malolactic fermentation the wine matures for 12 months in older French oak barrels. The 4 grape varietals are kept separated until the final blending prior to bottling.

At harvest the grapes are handpicked and will undergo sorting on tables before the whole bunches are destemmed and fermented in stainless steel, wooden fermenters for 2-3 weeks.

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.
