Glenwood Grand Duc Chardonnay

On the Glenwood estate, the 28-year-old vines of the Glenwood Grand Duc Chardonnay ripen on carefully tended plots. The low foliage allows the grapes optimal sun exposure, while minimal irrigation and slow ripening produce small, highly concentrated grapes that develop the full aroma of this top Chardonnay.

After gentle whole-cluster pressing and 14-day fermentation with wild yeast, this white wine matures for 20 months on the fine lees in 100% new 500-liter French oak barrels. The result is a creamy, full-bodied Chardonnay with a fine vanilla toast note and a finish of ripe pineapple, marmalade and fresh citrus notes.

Enjoy this Glenwood Grand Duc Chardonnay with creamy poultry dishes, fried fish or mild cheese - ideally at 10-12 °C to allow the aromas to fully develop.

Chamonix Chardonnay Reserve
Dieser hell strohfarben leuchtende Chardonnay aus Südafrika zählt zur ersten Riege der Weißweine vom Kap. Im Bukett des im Holz ausgebauten Chamonix Chardonnay Reserve vereinen sich Noten von tropischen Früchten, Ingwer, Gewürzen und auch Haferflocken.Am Gaumen ist der Chamonix Chardonnay Reserve gut strukturiert, mit mittlerem Körper und einer schönen Mineralität. Dazu kommen anregende Aromen von Limette und gerösteten Mandeln.  Beim Ausbau dieses Weißweines habe die Macherinnen und Macher von Chamonix wenig dem Zufall überlassen. Der Chardonnay Reserve reifte zum größten Teil für 14 Monate in französischen Allier-Eichenfässern. Ein kleinerer Teil wurde im Beton-Ei ausgebaut. „Alles wurde genutzt, mit einem bewundernswerten Ergebnis“, urteilt Marston.3 bis 4 Jahre nach dem „release“ zeigt der Chamonix Chardonnay Reserve seine ganze Qualität. In Top-Jahrgängen bleibt sie bis zu 10 Jahre lang eindrucksvoll.

La Bri Barrel Select Chardonnay
The La Bri Barrel Select Chardonnay from Franschhoek in South Africa comes from a strict barrel selection and impresses with its multi-layered aromas and impressive finesse. Already awarded the highest rating of 5 stars in Platter's Wine Guide several times, this wine shows once again that the interplay of terroir, low yields and precise cellar work can produce great wines.The grapes were harvested by hand. After a night in cold storage, the whole grapes were gently pressed. After pre-clarification, the must was transferred to 600-liter French oak barrels (half of which were new), where it fermented and matured for 11 months. This careful vinification gives the wine its fine woody spice, structure and depth without losing its freshness.In the glass, La Bri Barrel Select Chardonnay reveals an elegant interplay of fresh citrus fruit, juicy stone fruit notes and fine minerality. Creamy but focused on the palate, with animating acidity and a long, taut finish. The style remains precise, lively and clearly structured - a prime example of modern South African Chardonnay.The stylized Clivia miniata, also known as a buttercup, adorns the label - it symbolizes the fresh, radiant character of this wine.A perfect accompaniment to scallops, roasted poultry, lemon risotto or fresh goat's cheese.

Lanzerac Mrs. English Chardonnay
In 1914, Elizabeth Katherina English bought the Schoongezicht farm and renamed it Lanzerac. In the following years, one of the most modern wineries at that time was created at the Cape. In order to pay tribute to this impressive woman, this wonderful Chardonnay was produced.The grapes for the Lanzerac Mrs. English Chardonnay come from a single vineyard located in the Jonkershoek valley. The vines are more than 20 years old and are situated 375 metres above sea level. The wine gleams flaxen in the glass and offers citrus aromas on the nose. On the palate, this marvellously complex wine is full-bodied and long-lasting. It was aged in new and used barrels, giving the wine a beautifully clear balance and lots of character. The Mrs. English Chardonnay is wonderfully rounded off by a pre-eminent fruitiness. The wine’s high ageing potential ensures that it will be a genuine delight for the next 10 years.The Lanzerac Mrs. English Chardonnay is an ideal accompaniment to smoked salmon, white fish, pork or chicken and creamy pasta dishes.

Delaire Graff Banghoek Reserve Chardonnay
The Delaire Graff estate is renowned for its elegant, multi-layered wines. The Banghoek Reserve Chardonnay from the eponymous valley located northwest of Stellenbosch in South Africa is the best evidence of this. The valley provides ideal conditions for the Chardonnay grapes, sufficient humidity and balanced sunlight on the slopes. The grapes were harvested by hand in the cool morning hours over a period of 14 days, based on the grapes’ level of maturity. After pressing, the wine was fermented in barrels. Subsequently, the Delaire Graff Banghoek Reserve Chardonnay matured for 10 months in barriques, of which 40% were new French oak casks.The wine has a wonderfully clear bouquet hinting of vanilla and peaches, along with nuances of honey. On the palate, the Banghoek Reserve Chardonnay is multi-layered, marvellously fresh and very elegant. Its long-lasting finish is characterised by a lovely minerality.
