in the cellar : Weltevrede has identified three different soil types on the estates, which influence the flavours of the wines incredibly. These three Chardonnays have been bottled separately: The Oude Weltevrede from the limestone and red Karoo soil, the Place of Rocks from the shale soil and the Weltevrede River's Edge from the river stones. The broken shale rock gives the 'Place of Rocks' Chardonnay the most wonderful fresh minerally flavours of citrus and lime.

Fermented and aged for ten months in French Barriques.
