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
Tasting Notes: Welbedacht Chardonannay – Case (6 bottles) is a golden-hued wine has aromas of ripe stone fruit, wild honey and tropical flowers which continue on the palate with a refreshing lime twist and then a lingering oak character. It is a structured blend of well-integrated wood and crisp fruit that has a lingering finish.
Food Pairing: Enjoy this Welbedacht Chardonannay – Case (6 bottles) with its rich and Oaky flavours in this wine require rich plates to match. Have it with eggs Benedict or even steak bernaise!
