Restless River
Restless River is in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, situated in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley appellation, with our vineyards at an altitude reaching 1200ft and 5km from the cold South Atlantic ocean. Our appellation is unique with ancient, granite-based, rocky, deep clay soils; extremely rare to the greater Walker Bay area. Daytime temperatures during summer are some of the lowest in the South African winelands. This cool maritime climate and our decomposed granite soils allow us to grow and make lighter, more elegant wine, balanced with texture, length and complexity.
Description
The Ava Marie Chardonnay is a simply brilliant South African Chardonnay, that wows with its poise, focus and length. Notes of acacia and orange blossom intertwine with sea spray and crunchy apples and lemon essence. The texture is so fine and slightly oily, and there’s an effortless balance here.
