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 Estate The Site Chardonnay 2024 is a refined single-vineyard Chardonnay with layers of citrus and stone fruit, enriched by subtle oak complexity. It shows aromas of lemon, pomelo and lemongrass with creamy undertones and a hint of toasted almond. The palate is ripe yet balanced, with bright acidity, concentrated fruit and a lingering finish that reflects its oak maturation and terroir expression.
Food Pairing
Pairs nicely with richer white fish dishes, grilled chicken with lemon herb sauce, creamy risottos, and mild cheeses—foods that complement both the freshness and subtle oak complexity of the wine.
