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
The De Wetshof Limestone Hill Chardonnay 2024 is an unoaked Chardonnay known for its purity and finesse. It displays vibrant aromas of grapefruit and nuts, complemented by refreshing apple, peach, and lemon flavors. The wine is characterized by its leesy richness and a nutty, chalky finish, offering a refined elegance that is both balanced and complex. This Chardonnay is less tropical than some other unwooded Chardonnays, emphasizing its clean, fresh fruit profile and minerality.
Food Pairing
This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, including oysters, cream-based pasta, light curries, roast pork, and veal. Its crisp acidity and rich fruit flavors make it versatile enough to complement both lighter and richer fare.
