Seaward Chardonnay

This Chardonnay pairs well with rich dishes like garlicky mussels, parmesan mushroom pasta, roast pork, or even butternut soup​.

The grapes are sourced from Tygerberg Hills in the Coastal Region, benefiting from cooling Atlantic breezes, which help maintain freshness and balance in the wine. These vines are dryland and semi-trellised, aged about 15 years​.

After hand-harvesting, the grapes underwent 4 hours of skin contact, followed by fermentation with 60% in stainless steel tanks and 40% in older French oak barrels. The wine was aged on its lees for 8 months, enhancing its texture and complexity​.
