Our Cellar Master can write books about how much he loves Chardonnay and how much terroir plays a role.
The opportunity to labour over exceptional blocks and unleash their potential? Yes! We seized it with both hands for the Haute Collection Chardonnay. In 2014, the spotting of this single vineyard of old vine Chardonnay planted in 1983 sowed the seed for our Haute Collection, and in 2017, the maiden vintage was released. Wine of Origin Franschhoek on a cool site with deep sandy loam soil, perfection in fruit intensity to ripening to bunch formation.
