WINE DESCRIPTION
Capensis Chardonnay is an exceptional white wine produced by the joint venture between Jackson Family Wines and Antony Beck of Graham Beck Wines in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, South Africa. The wine is made from grapes sourced from the finest vineyards in the region, which are situated at high altitude and have cool maritime breezes that promote a long ripening season. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 10 months, resulting in a wine with aromas of lemon, lime, and white peach, with a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a creamy texture and a long, mineral finish. This wine is a perfect representation of the high-quality Chardonnays being produced in South Africa and is a must-try for any wine enthusiast looking for a world-class Chardonnay.
