Mont Rochelle Mountain Vineyards
At Mont Rochelle, we cultivate and nurture various grape varieties including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon amongst a few others that are used for blending purposes to add complexity. The vineyards are situated between 250m and 400m above sea level exposing the grapes to a range of micro climates. Mediterranean-like conditions found in the Western Cape means dry summers and high winter rainfalls of 1000mm. The Franschhoek Valley also experiences the south-easter which helps bring in cooler air allowing for a longer ripening period.
Description
Straw green colour with golden hues. The nose conjures images of beautiful stone fruit nuances with lovely fresh citrus lime and orange peel tones, including almonds and marzipan. The palate is complex and is well balanced by a creamy and elegant toasty oak component with a beautiful mineral finish.
Food Pairing
