Product information "Capensis Fijnbosch Chardonnay 2019"
The grapes used for the Capensis Fijnbosch Chardonnay come from the highest vineyards in Stellenbosch. They provide a white wine that is only produced in particularly good vintages. The grapes from a single vineyard give the Capensis Fijnbosch Chardonnay its wonderful aroma of citrus fruit and mineral notes. On the palate, the white wine is full-bodied and fruity with nuances of peach and lime, which are also accentuated by a beautiful minerality. Enjoy this complex white wine, which has matured for eleven months in French oak, on its own, but it is also an excellent accompaniment to dishes with pasta, fish or poultry.

Capensis - a tribute to the Chardonnay grape variety
Capensis - which means "from the Cape" - was founded by Anthony Beck (Graham Beck Wines) and Barbara Banke (Jackson Family Wines) and is now part of Jackson Family Wines. The joint venture of the two long-time friends has helped to develop South Africa into a world-class Chardonnay producer. In 2014, the two acquired the Fijnbosch vineyard in Stellenbosch to dedicate themselves to the cultivation of this noble grape variety. The passion for Chardonnay results from the firm conviction that only a few grape varieties succeed in expressing the full potential of the vineyard. In the search for the best locations, the focus was on Stellenbosch, Overberg and Robertson - the quality of each vineyard alone is decisive for the selection of the cultivated areas.
Capensis Chardonnay: a success all along the line
Winemaker Graham Weerts has succeeded in satisfying the high demands, because with Capensis Chardonnay he created a white wine matured in oak that benefits from the old, rich clay soils of the Western Capes and expressively reflects its terroir. The wine has been raved about by critics and has been honoured by both John Platter and Tim Atkin. Wine lovers will also be delighted by the complex and elegant Capensis Chardonnay with its citrus and vanilla notes, because this white wine is something very special.
Capensis is a piece of South Africa
The Capensis Chardonnay and the Silene Chardonnay are not only a real treat for the palate, the labels are also small works of art. In equally filigree and sweeping lines, the label of the Capensis Chardonnay shows a springbok, South Africa's national animal, the marula tree, also called the elephant tree, as well as the protea, the country's national flower. The texture of the label is reminiscent of a shield of the indigenous Zulu ethnic group. In this way, the Capensis Chardonnay becomes a beautiful piece of South Africa in every respect, combining the country's tradition and the unique character of the Winelands.
