Welbedacht Chardonnay

Welbedacht have a total of 110 hectares of fine vineyards planted that are all producing great fruit. Some of the older vines are older than 40 years and produce outstanding fruit. This gives the cellar a variety of fruit flavours to be able to on a continuous basis, produce wines that are made for the discerning wine drinker and great as a food wine, especially our Welbedacht Chardonannay – Case (6 bottles).

The soils at Welbedacht are predominantly decomposed granite on the slopes of Groenberg, a very unique and very old development of the various layers of decomposed granite that had decomposed from the higher Limietberg mountain range that lies behind it, with the upper layers of varying depths of 300mm to 800mm with the lower soils being decomposed clay. The terroir is a combination of rolling hills facing a western direction which gives us good south facing, the cool ones, planting areas. Our highest vines are at a 1000 feet above sea level looking straight into Table Mountain
