Vintage Report

The 2023 vintage in South Africa is considered excellent with a score of 90. The wines from this year are characterized as still young and need time to reach their full potential.

Boekenhoutskloof's Cap Maritime Coastal Chardonnay beautifully reflects the unique landscape of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Thanks to the cool climate and soils rich in weathered shale, the Chardonnay grapes thrive here. Since the first harvest in 2017, Boekenhoutskloof has dedicated itself entirely to this valley. In 2019, the winery even purchased small plots of land to strengthen its commitment to this special area. The proximity of the ocean, just four kilometers away, provides additional coolness and freshness, enhancing the wine's refinement.

Elegant and structured Cap Maritime Coastal Chardonnay

Boekenhoutskloof is a renowned winery located in the Franschhoek Valley region of South Africa. The winery is known for its outstanding quality and craftsmanship in producing premium wines. Founded in 1776, it has a rich history of wine production. Boekenhoutskloof has established itself as one of South Africa's leading wine producers and has gained international recognition for its unique and high-quality wines. Winemaker Gottfried Mocke strives for elegance and structure over overpowering fruit aromas, which is clearly evident in the Cap Maritime Coastal Chardonnay. After careful selection, the grapes are transported under refrigerated conditions to Franschhoek and whole-pressed. Fermentation takes place in both used wooden barrels and concrete vats, followed by twelve months of maturation during which the yeast is regularly stirred, a process called "batonnage." This creates a creamy, smooth texture while preserving the fresh citrus notes and subtle oak influences.

The refined aromas of Cap Maritime Coastal Chardonnay

The Cap Maritime Coastal Chardonnay offers a perfect balance of fresh citrus notes and a creamy texture, with subtle oak accents that enrich the whole. The palate is elegant and refined, with hints of stone fruit, blossom, and mineral nuances that emphasize the wine's complexity. Aging in French oak barrels develops toasted aromas of nuts and vanilla, resulting in a harmonious and complex wine that reflects both the unique terroir and the craftsmanship of Boekenhoutskloof.
