Karoo Chardonnay

Roast Karoo lamb, cob on the grill, exotic seafood

Decomposed granite soils near Sutherland, around 1,500 m elevation.

In the winery we did whole bunch pressing straight to first and second fill French Oak Barrels, without any additions - natural fermentation started slowly after five days and completed in 30 days after which the wine spent 10 months on the gross lees before preparing (with minimum intervention) for bottling. The lees was stirred occasionally and no malolactic fermentation took place. The result is an honest wine and true to the king of white wines - Chardonnay - reflecting where it comes from. It is here too, that we as a family come to rest and be inspired by the sheer beauty of the heavens and the vast creation of the universe, a truly humbling experience

Kruger Family Heritage dates back to the early 1700’s with the arrival of the first settlers to South Africa. Our wines are made from the best grapes grown in Stellenbosch Region matured in small oak barrels for 12–24 months.
