De Wetshof
The name De Wetshof has been synonymous with the production of fine wines in South Africa since the 1970’s. As the first registered wine estate in the Robertson Wine Valley De Wetshof has become known internationally as South Africa’s eminent Chardonnay House due to the pioneering role it played in introducing this noble Burgundian grape to the country. The De Wet family’s winemaking heritage can however be traced back to 1694 when the first De Wets arrived at the Cape and immediately made a mark on the South African wine industry. Today De Wetshof is one of the few third generation wine estates in South Africa. Here Danie de Wet proprietor and cellarmaster is assisted by sons Johann (viticulture and marketing) and Peter (winemaker).
Description
De Wetshof Bateleur Chardonnay 2021 displays a full-bodied, elegant profile with vibrant citrus and pear-drop flavors. Hints of nuttiness and vanilla from oak aging add complexity. The palate is creamy yet fresh, supported by well-integrated acidity that provides a clean and long-lasting finish. The wine is known for its balanced and layered texture, showcasing both fruit purity and subtle oak influences.
Food Pairing
The 2021 Bateleur Chardonnay pairs well with rich dishes such as lobster, grilled prawns, and scallops. It also complements creamy pasta, roast chicken, and other poultry. For vegetarian pairings, consider mushroom risotto or butternut squash soup, which will enhance the wine’s creamy texture and acidity.
