Producer Information
The Wetshof Sur Lie Chardonnay comes from vineyards located on a surface of gravel and lime, as we also find in France. Ideal for beautiful Chardonnay. The Wetshof Chardonnay is clear straw yellow in the glass with a nice open scent in the nose with pleasant citrus notes, wonderfully pure, apple, wide. On the palate, this great chardonnay is full of a lot of finesse and fresh acids, mineral and fresh, apple and has a nice length. Daniel de Wet prefers to raise this wine on its own must (sur lie) and not raise it on wood so that the wine gets the maximum freshness and due to the sur lie its complexity. This chardonnay has an unprecedented good price / quality ratio The Wetshof Estate is located in the Robertson wine region, about 160 kilometers from Cape Town. Johann de Wet, the father of the current owner of De Wethof Estate, Danie, laid the foundation for the domain as it is now in 1952. For son Danie it was not self-evident at first to become a winemaker. In his heart, he actually wanted to become a vet. His father convinced him to go into wine anyway, because he saw the future of the farm there. He convinced his son by promising to study in Geisenheim, Germany, to broaden his horizons in Europe. In 1972, upon his return, De Wetshof became the first private cellar in Robertson, separate from the local cooperative. Danie saw many possibilities and planted noble varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Chardonnay. This led to De Wetshof becoming the most famous Chardonnay producer in South Africa over the years. Under the leadership of Danie de Wet, De Wetshof has grown into one of the leading wine companies in South Africa. It measures no less than 200 hectares, planted with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir.
