Bateleur

2007 Robertson Chardonnay

The De Wetshof Bateleur Chardonnay from the esteemed Robertson region showcases a delightful expression of this noble varietal. This vintage exhibits a full-bodied character, coupled with impressive high acidity that brings a refreshing brightness to the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of ripe stone fruit, including peach and apricot, along with hints of citrus and a touch of minerality. The wine is exquisitely balanced, gliding smoothly across the tongue, while its well-integrated oak adds a layer of complexity without overshadowing the vibrant fruit. As a truly dry wine, the De Wetshof Bateleur stands out as an exceptional choice for those seeking a sophisticated and mouthwatering Chardonnay that perfectly captures the essence of its terroir.

Robertson

Like many South African wine regions, Robertson is in a beautiful location that matches its dramatic scenery with equally impressive wines. Known as the "valley of wine and roses," Robertson lies 100 miles east of Cape Town in the Breede River Valley region. Fed by the Breede and sheltered by the Langeberg Mountains to the north, Robertson Valley is prized for its limestone and gravel soils and temperate Mediterranean climate. From complex Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon to dynamic Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc—and even world-class sparkling wines—Robertson has it all.
