Citronella and lemongrass aromatics envelop more subtle primary fruit that include peach skin and naartjie peel. Then also hints of vanilla, baked apple, marzipan and honey. The palate possesses verve and savoury grip, with elements of crushed river pebble, rock salt and flint, but also a grainy, pithy textural element akin to walnut and hard pear. There is real weight and mouth-filling substance, even at 12, 5% ABV with complexity gained from lees contact and completely integrated oak. Bone dry, savoury finish. – Higgo Jacobs, wine critic

Harvested from a naturally low yielding single vineyard, 9 different Chardonnay clones were planted almost 30 years ago. With narrow rows and high-density planting (approximately 5000 plants per hectare), conventional equipment can’t be used, and therefore everything gets done by hand, including spraying our natural preparations with back packs. With an annual rainfall of approximately 600ml per annum, dry land farming is practiced. Biodynamic (organic) practises are followed and no herbicides or chemical sprays are used in the production of these grapes.

Longridge is one of the leading estates in organic and biodynamic winemaking in the heart of the Cape Winelands near Stellenbosch South Africa. Situated at the foot of the Helderberg mountains we have been blessed with this beautiful piece of land perfect for the production of top quality terroir-driven wine.
