Honey Drop Chardonnay

Honey Drop Chardonnay Stellenbosch

A South African Chardonnay with character from Stellenbosch. Honey Drop combines ripe citrus and tropical fruit with crisp acidity and a round, inviting style. The wine is partially aged in oak, which adds soft notes of vanilla and brioche to the fruit.

Vineyards and region

The grapes come from Stellenbosch, South Africa. The vineyards are located close to the sea, with cool evening breezes and weathered granite soils. This combination ensures long aging, concentrated aromas, and a preserved freshness in the glass.

Vinification and maturation

Crafted in a modern Chardonnay style that balances fruit and texture. Some of the wine is aged in oak, supplemented by stainless steel for tension and precision. This results in a full-bodied yet not heavy signature, with a creaminess that underscores the citrus and tropical fruit notes.
