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

At harvest the grapes are handpicked and will undergo sorting on tables before the whole bunches are destemmed and fermented in stainless steel and wooden fermenters for 2-3 weeks. The grapes are pressed and after malolactic fermentation the wine matures for 12 months in older French oak barrels and another 6 months in stainless steel. The 4 grape varietals are kept separated until the final blending.

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.
