Description
Though summer temperatures can be quite high, the Robertson region is unquestionably white wine territory, renowned for its Chardonnay and quality Sauvignon Blanc. The summer heat is mitigated by moisture-laden and cool southeasterly winds that make for cool nights and often foggy mornings, factors that help preserve the freshness and acidity of the grapes. This unoaked Chard will demonstrate crisp citrus flavours and a fine minerality imparted by the Chardonnay-friendly limestone soils.

Tasting Notes
Sourced from the limestone and gravelly mountain rock of De Wetshof's own vineyards, this crisp, unoaked wine evokes citrus, wildflowers and grilled nuts along with stony mineral nuances. Pair with pan-fried seafood or chicken breast.[Veritas Wine Awards did not include a tasting note.] Score - Double Gold. (Veritas Wine Awards, 2020)
