Foothills Vineyards Chardonnay 2021

A multi-faceted summer wine from South Africa

The 2021 Chardonnay vintage from Foothills Vineyards by Klein Welmoed is a very special white wine from South Africa. Its citrus flavour tells of sun, beach and sea. The grapes of this wonderful wine thrive on nutrient-rich sand, gravel and granite soils under the African sun, well cooled by a steady sea breeze. These optimal ripening conditions unfold in every sip of this boutique wine from Cape Town's favourite wine-growing region. 

The perfect interplay of fruit and oak 

The Foothills Vineyards Chardonnay 2021 tastes fruity and light thanks to its nuances of lemon peel, grapefruit, stone fruit and mandarin. 

Flavours of oat biscuit, almond biscotti and oak contrast strongly. They give this Chardonnay the warm character that is so typical of this wine variety. 

Thanks to the successful combination of fruit and oak, this garage wine from South Africa impresses with its balanced maturity. 

The wine-growing paradise of Klein Welmoed

The Chardonnay 2021 vintage fits perfectly into the Foothills wine estate's product range. The wine-growing oasis is located 38 kilometres east of Cape Town and just 6 kilometres from False Bay. Cooled by the Atlantic breeze and in the shadow of the Helderberg Mountains, the grapes for the white and red wines from South Africa thrive here. The Foothills Vineyards range therefore includes not only white wines, such as Chardonnay, but also wonderful red wines of the Shiraz and Pinot Noir varieties. Sémillon wines, sparkling wines and rosé from this wine-growing region as well as cold-pressed olive oil can also be purchased from the winery. 

The solo artist from Klein Welmoed

With its fruity and warm flavours, this Chardonnay vintage is popular with wine lovers far beyond the borders of the Cape Town wine-growing region. Like its predecessors, the Foothills Vineyards Chardonnay 2021 goes very well with light summer cuisine and balmy summer evenings. This white wine from the South African region is just as excellent as the estate's rosés as an aperitif or dessert, but can also be enjoyed on its own. It impresses as a solo artist at sunset.
