AWARDS

Produced from the same grapes as the Crocodileâ€™s Lair / â€œKaaimansgatâ€ Chardonnay. The expression â€œSans Barriqueâ€ means without barrel. Here is a Chardonnay which has been fermented in tank only, offering a clean crisp product unhindered by oak ageing. It is ideally suited to wine lovers who do not favour the oak character in their white wines!

in the vineyard : The grapes stem from a blind valley high in the mountains behind the village of Villiersdorp. The location is particularly cool; vines are non-irrigated and consequently produce small concentrated berries which are full-flavoured and rich on the aftertaste.
