Chardonnay

This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with creamy dishes, such as poultry in mushroom sauce, or with richer seafood options like lobster and scallops​.

The grapes are sourced from selected vineyards in the Robertson region, specifically from the Wandsbeck farm. The soil is deep Karoo soil with a high lime content, which contributes to the wine's freshness and complexity. The vines are managed using regulated deficit irrigation to enhance concentration of flavors​.

The wine is aged for 13 months in new and second-fill French oak barrels, adding richness and complexity. It is expected to age well for 5 to 8 years​.

After being hand-harvested, the grapes are soft-crushed, and only the free-run juice is used. The juice is partially settled before undergoing fermentation in new and second-fill French oak barrels. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is matured on the primary lees for 13 months, with regular battonage (lees stirring) to add complexity​.

Robertson Winery’s flagship wine. Our unswerving commitment to quality has led to the creation of an exclusive vintage of limited barrel selection Shiraz. Testimony to the place where the winery was founded in 1941, the wine proudly carries the name Number One Constitution Road. Only selected hand-picked grapes were used to finely craft 50 barrels of this highly individual wine.
