Eikehof Chardonnay

The Eikehof Chardonnay from the traditional Eikehof Wine Estate embodies the tranquillity and elegance of the Cape Winelands. Nestled in the shade of ancient oak trees west of Franschhoek, this wine reflects the rich history of the Malherbe family, who have been making wine on the estate since 1903. Today, Francois Malherbe is the fourth generation to carry on his great-grandfather's legacy - in the same historic cellars where wine has been made for over a century.

This unwood-aged Chardonnay develops a lively bouquet of green apple, tangy lemon and a hint of lime in the glass, which immediately conveys freshness and clarity. On the palate, it is smooth, medium to full-bodied, with an elegant, lively finish that harmoniously carries the fruitiness and makes the wine a perfect companion for sunny moments.

Served slightly chilled at 8-10 °C, the Eikehof Chardonnay is ideal with grilled vegetables, light fish dishes, seafood or simply as a refreshing aperitif on warm days.

Eikehof Wines

Eikehof ist ein familiengeführtes Boutique-Weingut im südafrikanischen Franschhoek Valley in der renommierten Weinregion Western Cape. Das Weingut liegt an der bekannten Weinroute nahe La Motte und ist seit 1903 im Besitz der Familie Malherbe. Heute führt François Malherbe das traditionsreiche Gut bereits in vierter Generation und produziert seine Weine noch immer im historischen Weinkeller der Familie.

Die rund 23 bis 58 Hektar große Farm ist von alten Eichenbäumen geprägt, die dem Weingut auch seinen Namen geben („Eikehof“ bedeutet sinngemäß „Hof der Eichen“). Besonders bekannt ist das Gut für seine historischen Sémillon-Reben aus dem Jahr 1902 – einer der ältesten noch produzierenden Weinberge Südafrikas.

Eikehof setzt auf eine handwerkliche, qualitätsorientierte Weinproduktion in kleinen Mengen. Nur ein Teil der auf dem Gut angebauten Trauben wird für die eigene Vinifikation verwendet, wodurch ein überschaubares Portfolio charakterstarker Weine entsteht. Das Weingut verbindet traditionelle Methoden mit moderner Kellertechnik und legt großen Wert auf authentischen Ausdruck des Franschhoek-Terroirs.

Als kleines Familienweingut steht Eikehof für persönliche Gastfreundschaft, sorgfältige Handarbeit und hochwertige südafrikanische Weine mit regionalem Charakter.

Hartenberg Estate Chardonnay
Hartenberg Estate Chardonnay - Elegant white wine from StellenboschProducing a truly outstanding Chardonnay is always a great challenge for winegrowers. The fact that this grape can be found all over the world is certainly also due to the fact that it is very adaptable. But this is precisely what makes it all the more difficult for a wine-growing business. The Hartenberg Chardonnay is a positive example. The grapes are processed separately according to the individual parcels of the vineyard. Only at the end of the vinification process is the final Chardonnay blend put together under strict quality selection. The wine then matures for 11 months in French barriques.The result has been impressing wine critics all over the world for years. The wine has a wonderful aroma of white pear, tropical fruit, vanilla and roasted almonds. On the palate, these notes blend into a perfect taste.
