Bonnievale Limited Release Chardonnay 2021

This wine opens with a crescendo of lime and grapefruit on the nose. On the crisp and fresh palate, they join a chorus of flintiness with the slightest hint of oak. The wine spent seven months in French oak, which has delivered sublime integration and a beautifully, round mouthfeel. The finish is protracted and satisfying.

Always serve this wine slightly chilled. It is wonderful on its own as an aperitif, but also shines when presented with dishes of duck, pork and matured cheeses.

Bonnievale Wines gets its name from the town founded in the 1800s by visionary Scotsman Christopher Forrest Rigg. He unlocked the region’s agricultural potential and secured the roots of our community.

Our home lies east of Cape Town, in a valley long associated with excellent dairy, fruit and wine farming. Cool air from the nearby coastline ensures flavourful grapes.

Our philosophy is founded on respect and collaboration – working together and with nature. We meticulously produce and select the very best grapes from what nature and the vintage has to offer.

The seal Wine of Origin: Bonnievale is a proud declaration of this quality provided by farming families with deep understanding of this unique landscape, soils, and climate; and, a broad palette of vineyards from which we select our grapes.
