About the winemaker

"Actually, our winery is not in the Hemel-en-aarde Valley at all, but in the Hemel-en-aarde Ridge. It has a slightly different climate from the valley. It is rainier here and there is almost always a cool wind. The rain comes in handy because unlike most vintners in South Africa, we do not irrigate. Our vines may produce less fruit per hectare as a result, but the quality is so much better. And the better the fruit, the better the wine."

Six different sites supply the grapes for this good-value Chardonnay from La Vierge.Fermented in 20% new 500-litre barrels, with half of the wine going on to complete malolactic,this has notes of crème fraîche, cashew and beeswax, layers of fresh lemon and tangerine and a bright,refreshing finish.

Hemel-en-aardevallei, South africa
The Hemel-en-aarde Valley is part of the larger Walker Bay district and is part of the Cape South Coast region. It is a green region located right on the coast, right where the Atlantic and Indian oceans meet. It has an oceanic climate with cool influences from the ocean and constant soothing ocean breezes. The soil consists of clay and limestone, which holds water well - a blessing in increasingly arid South Africa. Winemaker Christo Kotze is lucky his winery is located in a very rainy stretch, just outside the valley. Here it rains more often, so unlike many of his colleagues, he has decided not to irrigate anymore.

‘Ja, chardonnay op hout.’. Woord, aldus Harm. Geinige Blue Band in de nasmaak en eik in de ronding. Helaas geen ronding in de Eikelenboom. Eind van de route du blanc. Lichte traan, maar op een positieve noot spreekt motto: geinig, goed, gardonnay. 3 ster.

Op zich mooie wijn, maar hij had wat ‘vetter’ gemogen en iets minder fris.
