Classic Collection

2013 Western Cape Chardonnay

The KWV Classic Collection Chardonnay from the 2013 vintage is a delightful expression of the Western Cape region's winemaking prowess. This white wine showcases a medium-bodied profile, offering a harmonious balance between its crisp acidity and subtle fruit intensity. The refreshing acidity contributes to its vibrant character, while notes of green apple and citrus zest emerge gracefully on the palate. The wine presents a round mouthfeel, with well-integrated oak nuances that lend a touch of creaminess without overpowering the fruit. It is remarkably versatile, making it a wonderful accompaniment to a range of dishes, particularly those featuring seafood or light poultry options. This Chardonnay reflects the elegance and charm that the region is renowned for, inviting you to enjoy its bright and inviting character.

Western Cape

The majority of South Africa's best wines are produced in the southwest coastal zones around Cape Town, known collectively as the Western Cape. Sandwiched between the country's majestic mountains and its cooling ocean coasts (the Atlantic to the west of the Cape of Good Hope, the Indian Ocean to its east), the Western Cape offers a wealth of winemaking riches. Regions here include the Breede River Valley, Cape South Coast, Coastal Region, Klein Karoo and Olifants River.
