NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The KWV Classic Collection Chardonnay is a delightful white wine that showcases the classic characteristics of the Chardonnay grape variety.It displays a pale straw color with golden hues, enticing the senses with its vibrant appearance. On the nose, this Chardonnay offers a bouquet of tropical fruits such as pineapple, ripe peach, and hints of citrus. These fruity aromas are complemented by subtle notes of vanilla and oak, adding complexity and depth to the wine. The palate is rich and creamy, with a medium to full body that coats the mouth with luscious flavors. The tropical fruit flavors continue to shine, accompanied by a touch of butterscotch and toasted almonds. The well-integrated oak provides a gentle backbone, contributing to a smooth and elegant finish.

Region: Western Cape

The Western Cape is a province of South Africa located in the south-western corner of the country. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Eastern Cape to the east, and the Northern Cape to the north. The Western Cape is home to some of the world's most renowned wine regions, making it a paradise for wine lovers. The Western Cape has a long and rich history of winemaking. The first vines were planted in the region in 1655 by Dutch settlers, and the first commercial winery was established in 1685. Since then, the region has become one of the most important wine-producing regions in South Africa.
