Care is key to creating this fantastic white wine. Because South Africa is located in the Southern Hemisphere, the harvest takes place early in the year, usually in or around February. The Chardonnay grapes are grown and picked with great care. After harvest, the grapes for Mountain View Chardonnay are fermented at a low temperature. Furthermore, contact with the skins is minimal, so the wine retains its delicious fruitiness and is never overly acidic or heavy. Bottling takes place in the heart of the Western Cape, where Mountain View is based.
