Groenlandberg Chardonnay

Serve with a mild and creamy butter chicken curry.

The 2019 growing season was typically cool but relatively dry which gave us healthy grapes with very good concentration of flavour. The summer was mild with cool nights that ensured gradual ripeness and retention of natural acidities. The week leading up to harvest we experienced warmer days and nights which caused a sudden accumulation of sugar vineyards. Fortunately we were able to harvest all our blocks in time and the result was a very intense, compact harvest but with resulting wines proudly representing the unique vintage.

A consistent approach to French Oak maturation.

Whole bunch fermentation, wild yeasts and gentle winemaking.

Oak Valley is situated high along the Groenlandberg Mountain Range in one of the coolest wine growing regions in South Africa; Elgin. Attention to detail in the vineyards and our minimalist intervention approach in the cellar is what shapes our cool climate wine styles. Oak Valley’s signature is elegance.
