in the vineyard : Chardonnay is an extremely versatile grape and un-wooded Chardonnay is no rarity to the world of Chardonnay. The factor of wooding or not wooding can make a huge difference to its flavour and aroma. In many instances the un-wooded version of the variety is a better accompaniment to fish and shell fish than the wooded version.

These grapes originate from the tall mountains behind the village of Villiersdorp. Conditions through the 2010/2011 growing season were dry which presented a small harvest of concentrated fruit.
