Unoaked Chardonnay

2009 Western Cape Chardonnay

The Brampton Unoaked Chardonnay from the 2009 vintage, hailing from the stunning Western Cape region, showcases a beautiful, vibrant expression of this beloved varietal. With its light body, the wine offers a refreshing mouthfeel that is both crisp and invigorating. It possesses a lively acidity that elevates the palate and complements its fruit intensity, presenting delightful notes of green apples and citrus. The absence of oak allows the Chardonnay's natural characteristics to shine, revealing a clean and pure profile, free of heaviness. This wine is bone dry, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a bright and food-friendly accompaniment to a variety of dishes, particularly seafood or light salads. An outstanding example of how Chardonnay can thrive unadorned, the Brampton Unoaked Chardonnay is a true testament to the expressive potential of this varietal in the picturesque Western Cape.

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.
