Vriesenhof
Vriesenhof has a history dating back to the early eighteen century where its south facing slopes are perfectly positioned to produce wines of a fine character. The estate has plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc Merlot Pinotage and small block of Pinot Noir. You’ll find it between the Helderberg and Stellenbosch mountains amidst the Paradyskloof Valley. Three ranges of superb wines are produced including the labels of Vriesenhof Talana Hill and Paradyskloof. Jan Boland Coetzee is the wine maker of the estate and he has ensured that the position of each variety is planted in the ideal position.
Description
Apart from the delightfully pale, green-tinged appearance this Chardonnay appears so delicious by virtue of its vibrant pear aromas coupled with creamy, lees-aged aromas of freshly baked brioche. The palate has concentration of flavour and lovely weight. A balanced wine with refreshing acidity and lengthy flavours that persist well into the finish.
Food Pairing
Will pair well with a variety of pasta dishes as well as grilled fish, and mediterranean inspired roast vegetables.
