Natural Chardonnay

2004 Robertson Chardonnay

Rietvallei Natural Chardonnay from the Robertson region is a delightful expression of this classic varietal. This vintage boasts a medium body that offers a harmonious mouthfeel, while its bright acidity adds a refreshing liveliness to each sip. The wine showcases a prominent fruit intensity, featuring vibrant notes of ripe citrus and stone fruit that dance elegantly on the palate. Tannins are delicately woven into the fabric of this wine, providing a subtle structure without overpowering the fruit character. Furthermore, this Chardonnay is bone dry, allowing the natural flavors to shine through, making it a splendid choice for those who appreciate a clean, crisp white wine experience.

Region:


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.
