A wine from Weltevrede is always a great success. This leading winery, located in South Africa, has already captured many hearts. The winery is located in South Africa, which is considered a part of the New World of wines. However, wine has been produced here for centuries. Until a few decades ago, viticulture was primarily focused on quantity: many bottles with an accessible taste. These days, many wineries are choosing to innovate and invest in their vineyards. Weltevrede wines are a prime example of this. The history of the winery goes back far: 1912. The Jonker family owned the Weltevrede Estate, located in Robertson. Generation after generation, the winery continued to grow and develop. Currently, Philip Jonker is the owner, ensuring that Weltevrede wines continue to innovate.
Weltevrede's vineyards are located in the beautiful Robertson wine region and encompass an impressive 160 hectares. The Chardonnay grapes for this Weltevrede Calcrete Chardonnay are planted on the winery's most exclusive vineyards. The terroir, comprised of clay and slate, provides the wine with abundant minerals. The grapes are planted on a southeast-facing slope, creating perfect conditions for Chardonnay grapes. The grapes are harvested early in the morning to preserve their freshness. Thanks to Philip Jonker's expertise, the final result of Weltevrede Calcrete Chardonnay is something to shout about.
