Our Town Hall Chardonnay

Franschhoek Cellar Chardonnay is a truly remarkable white wine. The valley’s geographical location allows the grapes to ripen slowly over a long period. Very tasty and ready to drink right away.

The vineyards range in age from 4 to 15 years. They are planted in soil types that allow the vines to achieve an optimal balance. The grapes are hand-harvested in January and February at an average ripeness of 24 °B. They are cold-fermented in stainless steel and left completely untreated to enhance the fruit’s inherent varietal purity.

Dry Chardonnay pairs beautifully with poultry, seafood, and pasta in cream sauce. It complements buttery or mildly spiced dishes, such as risotto or grilled vegetables. Avoid very spicy foods and highly acidic dishes, which would throw off its balance.

The South African town of Franschhoek was founded
by French Huguenots in 1688. In 1945, a community
of local growers joined forces and began
producing distinctive wines together.
