De Wetshof Bon Vallon Chardonnay 2025
De Wetshof Bon Vallon is a fresh, mineral-driven unoaked Chardonnay from the Robertson Valley — one of South Africa's most celebrated white wine regions, where cooling southern ocean breezes funnel up the valley and limestone-rich soils impart a distinctive mineral character. Vinified unoaked and matured on its lees, this is a Chardonnay of real elegance, texture, and precision from one of the Cape's most storied and awarded estates. Why You'll Love It De Wetshof Estate has roots in the Cape stretching back to 1694, when the pioneering De Wet family first settled here. Under the stewardship of Danie de Wet, the estate has become internationally acclaimed for its commitment to high-quality white wines, sustainable practices, and exemplary labour standards. Bon Vallon is their benchmark unoaked Chardonnay — a wine that consistently over-delivers on freshness, complexity, and value. If you love Chablis but want something with a little more warmth and generosity, this is the bottle to explore. Vineyard & Production Grapes are hand-harvested from prime vineyard sites in Robertson, overlooking the Breede River. Vinified unoaked to preserve the purity of the Chardonnay, then matured on its lees to enhance texture, freshness, and subtle complexity while maintaining a clean, mineral character. Tasting Notes Pale gold in colour. Lemon, honeysuckle blossom, and peach on the nose. The palate is vibrant and mineral-driven — lemony freshness, a delicate yeasty texture, and a subtle nutty finish that lingers pleasingly. Perfect Pairings Pairs beautifully with Caesar salad, seared salmon or tuna, grilled or roasted white meats, and pan-fried duck. Also excellent with creamy pasta dishes, soft cheeses, and seafood risotto. Grape Variety Chardonnay 100%
Domaine de la Grande Courtade Chardonnay Organic 2022
La Grande Courtade Chardonnay is an organically produced Chardonnay with a fresh, pure, and charming expression, showing generosity from oak ageing balanced by lively acidity. Meet the Producer The Fabre Family have been making wine for over 400 years, with their estate rooted in the Languedoc. Their historic cellar, built in the 18th century, still houses the original vats used by their ancestors. The vineyards for this wine come from the family’s La Grande Courtade holdings, carefully managed to produce ripe, high-quality Chardonnay grapes. Production Grapes are harvested at night and pressed immediately. 20% of the juice is fermented in oak barrels and aged 6 months on its lees with batonnage, while the remainder is vinified in stainless steel to preserve freshness. The wine is made from a blend of well-ripened and earlier-picked grapes, balancing richness with crisp acidity. Tasting Notes A generous yet fresh Chardonnay, displaying pure fruit and subtle oak nuances, with a clean, vibrant finish that highlights the grape’s natural freshness despite the warm southern climate. Food Match Delicious with simply grilled fish, pan-roasted in butter, or roasted vegetables. Grape Varieties Chardonnay 100%
