Details

Cape Heights Unoaked Chardonnay is fresh and tangy with ripe aromas of pear, peaches and nectarines. The palate has all those fruits, and more, and is intense and full bodied. This is a wine of surprising character and very drinkable, with none of that sickly creaminess that you might expect from an oaked Chardonnay. The Cape Heights range offers fantastic value for money and this is no exception.

Technical Info

The Chardonnay grapes for this unoaked wine are sourced from long established vineyards on the Wellington/Swartland borders of the Western Cape. This area receives little rainfall and the soil is a mixture of alluvial riverbed stones, decomposed granite and shale. The vines are low-trellised and the grapes are picked by hand in the early hours of the morning to retain their freshness. On arrival to the winery, grapes are chilled and the juice settled in tank prior to fermentation. A proportion of the grapes are full bunch pressed, the rest are destemmed and cold fermented. We keep the wine on its fine lees in stainless steel tanks for as long as possible prior to bottling.
