Tasting notes An elegant, full-bodied red which displays dark fruit flavors paired with savory, earthy undertones. Bright acidity and soft tannins make this a versatile food wine. Founded in 2009 by owner and self-taught winemaker Ginny Povall, an intrepid American who fell in love with the beautiful Cape winelands and purchased Protea Heights farm in Stellenbosch’s Devon.

The American critic Robert Parker describes this wine as such: “The De Wetshof Estate Limestone Hill Chardonnay never sees oak, and offers impeccably pure, refreshing apple, peach and lemon fruit, a lovely leesy richness of texture, and a nutty, chalky, fruit-filled finish of imposing length. Understated and less tropical than some of the better un-oaked Chardonnays, this wine possesses far...

Winemaker Notes Yellow-green in color. The nose is complex with passion fruit, grapefruit and ripe fig aromas. The palate is fruity with a zesty acidity. Pair with chicken fillet with roasted lemons, green olives and capers.

Tasting notes Fresh, with aromas of lemon zest and floral notes. The palate is refreshing, with good acidity and hints of lemon. The medium-finish ends with a slight hint of orange blossom.

This unoaked Chardonnay is an accessible wine with the body of the Chardonnay grape but without the oak and buttery flavors often associated with this cultivar. The color is a brilliant green-gold and the style is dry yet fruity. The nose has pronounced tropical flavors following through onto a palate with a well-rounded, lingering citrus finish.

The color is an attractive bright, ruby red with a purple rim, typical of a young Pinotage. The flavors of this unique South African cultivar are complex and exciting with ripe plum and fruitcake all beautifully integrated and then finished with subtle oak for a lingering aftertaste.

This unwooded style of Viognier offers an accessible wine with ample body. The color is a brilliant green-gold and the style is dry but fruity. The perfume of a floral bouquet greets the nose and follows through with lovely tropical flavors in a light but lingering palate.

Juicy and fruity, rich and ripe in style with blackberry, blackcurrant and spice flavors, subtle vanilla and black pepper. Smooth and well-balanced with a lingering finish of berries, spice and beautifully integrated oak. Great value !
