Sonhoek Chardonnay Viognier

For this Sonhoek Chardonnay Viognier, we travel to the Western Cape in South Africa. Here we find the beautiful vineyards for both Chardonnay and Viognier grapes. The old vines have an average age of 25 years, allowing them to produce magnificent, full, and powerful bunches. The plants are planted in such a way that they optimally absorb the sun's rays and warmth, but also benefit from the wonderful breeze from the sea. This cooling is essential, otherwise the grapes would ripen too quickly. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 500 meters, allowing all these influences to perfectly combine. Harvesting begins when both grape varieties are perfectly ripe. This is carried out entirely mechanically. After vinification, the final blend is created, with the Chardonnay predominating. This gives the wine its wonderfully full-bodied characteristics.
