More about this product
Capensis
Capensis is a winery in South Africa, one of the oldest wine regions in the world. Ancient soils, dramatic landscapes and historic vineyards in the Stellenbosch, Overberg and Robertson areas are at the heart of Capensis. Winemaker Graham Weerts carefully selects the best grapes in the entire Western Cape area to create his expressive Chardonnay. The Fijnbosch plot is 500 meters above sea level in the Stellenbosch district. The height, the clay soils and the wild vegetation that surrounds the plot contribute to the natural freshness of the wine. Located in the mountains of Overberg, the Kaaimansgat plot is about 700 meters high. This height contributes to the aromas of white peach and pear. Plot E. Bruwer, is in the Robertson area, at almost 200m above sea level. The Chardonnay variety thrives on ancient limestone "pockets". Only individual rows of vines are selected for this wine, which grow in these unique pockets, contributing to the remarkable minerality of the wine.

Chardonnay
Chardonnay is the world's most famous white-wine grape and also one of the most widely planted. Of course, the most highly regarded expressions of the variety are those from Burgundy and California, but many high-quality examples are made in Italy, Australia, New Zealand and parts of South America. Describing the flavours of Chardonnay is not easy. This is not thanks to the complexity of the varietal itself but usually due its susceptibility to winemaking techniques - such as Malolactic fermentation which gives distinctive buttery aromas or Fermentation or maturation in oak barrels which contributes to the wine with smokey notes of vanilla, honey and even cinnamon, and not last the lees contact while in barrel imparts biscuity, doughy flavours. And all these incorporated with the varietal aromas of tropical (banana, pineapple and guava) to stone fruits (peach, nectarine and apricot), sometimes even citrus and apple notes. Climate plays a major role in dictating which fruit flavours a Chardonnay will have - warm regions (California, Australia ) make more tropical styles; temperate zones (southern Burgundy, New Zealand) - stone fruit notes, while the very coolest (Chablis, Champagne) lean towards green-apple aromas.
