Tasting Note

In 2017, Stellenbosch formed the heart of our winemaking, with Fijnbosch contributing an intense core of citrus, orange blossom, toasty brioche, and peach. From Robertson, the E. Bruwer vineyard enriched the blend with ripe peach and apricot, delivering a full, rounded mouthfeel. Kaaimansgat and Vleiplaas completed the composition, the former adding defining minerality to the back palate, while the latter introduced a subtle herbal note and vibrant acidity, creating a Chardonnay of refreshing precision and elegant balance.

Product Notes

Capensis Chardonnay is a South African gem. This exquisite and lavish wine carries the meticulous character of Western Cape wine-making. Boasting a deep golden hue, it releases a plenitude of aromas, from pleasant citrus undertones to a subtle hint of toasted oak. The elegance of its rich, creamy palate is seamlessly paired with an array of flavours, including caramelised pear, touch of vanilla and a dash of minerality. Its lasting, balanced finish confirms Capensis Chardonnay as a truly elite wine, worthy of the discerning palate. Its sophisticated profile perfectly complements a luxurious dining experience.
