Back Story & Wine Information
Purity & Conviction
The heart of our conviction is simple yet deliberate. Trust the Site. 20 years ago, Peter Clarke founded the farm up in the cool heights of the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge. Here, in a natural and beautiful amphitheatre, he chose the purity of planting dryland vineyards on virgin soils. Each block is exposed to unique aspects of soil and climate, rewarding us with layered and complex fruit that provides the foundation for our wines that are unveiled in our cellar to reveal their full expression of terroir and vintage.
Pairing
Seafood and Shellfish: The wine's vibrant acidity and mineral character naturally complement grilled seafood or rich shellfish dishes.
Creamy Dishes and Pasta: The subtle creamy layers from oak maturation make it a good match for creamy pasta dishes.
Cheeses: The wine is an excellent accompaniment to soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert, and also pairs well with harder, nuttier cheeses such as Cheddar and Gruyere.
Vegetables: Roasted butternut, sweet potatoes, and various vegetable dishes combine well with this Chardonnay's profile.
