- Unwooded Chardonnay with citrus freshness 🍋
- Notes of lemon, pear & peach 🍐
- Lees-aged for added texture & complexity ✨
Pale lemon in colour, it offers aromas of lemon, pear, kiwi, and winter melon. On the palate, it reveals flavours of apricot, white peach, and mango, balanced by lively freshness and a long, vibrant finish.
The grapes were grown on Tukulu and Oakleaf soils at 110 metres altitude, where cool breezes from False Bay slow ripening and enhance flavour concentration. After cool fermentation, the wine spent just over a month on the lees to build texture and complexity.
A refreshing, elegant Chardonnay with clean fruit expression and finesse – perfect with light dishes or enjoyed on its own.

The Neethlingshof Winery in Stellenbosch
The Neethlingshof Wines
The History of Neethlingshof
The traditional Neethlingshof winery was founded in 1692 by Governor Simon von der Stel in Stellenbosch. Charles Marais acquired the Neethlingshof vineyard in 1788, which at that time was still called "De Wolvendans", dance of the wolves. His wife Maria Marais, at that time only 18 years old, began to cultivate the vineyards and took over the Neethlingshof vineyard at the end of the 18th century. She was the first female cellar master in the still young colony of South Africa and helped the estate to grow into one of the most renowned wine estates in South Africa with a lot of energy and dedication. The present name Neethlingshof dates back to the year 1828 – the daughter of Maria Marais married Johannes Henoch Neethling. Johannes Henoch Neethling earned the name "Lord Neethling" through his involvement in the Stellenbosch community. Maria Marais was an extraordinary woman and worked with the greatest devotion on the winery until her death in 1839, which was then continued by her son. Her pioneering spirit inspired many winemakers then, as it does now, and the wine named after her, The Maria Short Story Collection, is a multi-award winning dessert wine which pays tribute to her achievement and tells her story. Neethlingshof was acquired in 1985 by Hans Schreiber, who is still co-owner today. He invested a lot of time and money in the cellar technology and the vineyards, creating the conditions for the production of first-class wines, which have already won several national and international awards. Since mid-2003, oenologist De Wet Viljoen has been responsible for winemaking at Neethlingshof. For the winemaker De Wet Viljoen, it is especially important to find the right balance between fruit, structure and wood in his creations, so that the wine lovers always have a special taste experience in the glass.
