Chamonix Chardonnay Reserve 2021

Product information "Chamonix Chardonnay Reserve 2021"
The Chamonix Chardonnay Reserve flows into the glass in a dark lemon yellow and scents wonderfully of stone fruit and citrus fruits. Floral tones skilfully round off the bouquet. On the palate, the fruity lime flavours are accompanied by toasted almonds. Well structured and mineral on the palate, the Chamonix Chardonnay Reserve, limited to 2877 bottles, is a highlight for every white wine lover. Enjoy the complex white wine, whose grapes come from a single vineyard, best with dishes with fish or poultry. But the Chamonix Chardonnay Reserve, which is matured for fourteen months in French oak, is also a delight for the palate on its own.

Chamonix – Traditional Wine Farm amidst Nature

The beginnings of the beautiful Cape Chamonix wine farm are traceable until the year 1688 when Huguenots purchased the estate. However, the current winemaker generation does not only look back on its past but always into the future which is why Chamonix is nowadays known for its numerously awarded wines, such as the Chamonix Chardonnay or the Chamonix Pinot Noir Reserve. The perfect location of the 50 hectares of vineyards plays a significant role in this development. They stretch to the eastern slopes of the Franschhoek Mountains, surrounded by 300 hectares of natural beauty. A unique view of beautiful nature! Additionally to the awarded top wines, the winery also produces its own crystal clear mineral water which – in terms of quality – belongs to the best in the country and is therefore ideal to be enjoyed with wine.

Remarkable Improvements at Chamonix

The fact that the South African wine farm Chamonix has undergone such great improvements within the last two decades is mainly due to the acquisition by the German-born entrepreneur and passionate adventurer Chris Hellinger. His professed goal: to create wines mainly for pleasure, to stimulate the senses, and not the mind. Additionally, he knows how to pamper his wine enthusiastic visitors with an exclusive kitchen and culinary delights and plenty of activities in the beautiful Franschhoek Mountains. The wine farm offers different types of accommodation. The Marco Polo Lodge – built in the Cape Dutch style and decorated with African flair – looks like it was made in heaven. And what could be a more beautiful place to get married than within such a picturesque surrounding and the stylish atmosphere?
