The Site Chardonnay 2022 presents a bright, pale gold color with a slight green tint. On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of ripe citrus fruits such as lemon and lime, complemented by notes of green apple, white peach, and a hint of pineapple. These fruit aromas are layered with subtle nuances of toasted almonds, vanilla, and butterscotch, reflecting the influence of oak aging. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with a creamy texture. Flavors of citrus, baked apple, and stone fruits are balanced by a crisp acidity and a pronounced minerality, leading to a long, elegant finish with lingering notes of oak and spice.

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).
