Flavour profile

Bright straw yellow. Honey Drop Chardonnay immediately grabs you with ripe peach and nectarine, complemented by vanilla, a touch of caramel, and a smooth honey. On the palate, it's generous and creamy with a brioche-like roundness, a subtle hint of toast, and a touch of smoke, while fresh acidity balances everything out. The long, sunny ripening in Stellenbosch adds extra concentration and layering, allowing this Chardonnay to truly stand out in terms of flavor. It's versatile and pairs well with roasted chicken, pork, or rich fish like salmon and tuna. </p

From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

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.

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.

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.
