This area receives little rainfall and the soil is a mixture of alluvial riverbed stones, decomposed granite, and shale. The vines are low-trellised and the grapes are picked by hand in the early hours of the morning to retain their freshness. On arrival at the winery, grapes are chilled and the juice settled in tank prior to fermentation. A proportion of the grapes are full bunch pressed, the rest are destemmed and cold fermented. We keep the wine on its fine lees in stainless steel tanks for as long as possible prior to bottling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom the Producer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoutinot South Africa is driven by our passion for discovery and desire to capture the real essence of South Africa in every bottle. It was the simple love of Loire Chenin Blanc that first led us to South Africa in 1994, where we pioneered the wild ferment style that has now been adopted by many producers in this region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince then we have been exploring the country's amazing vineyards to make fabulous wines from specific sites and plots that scream location, location, and terroir. Our home-grown South African winemaking team of JD Rossouw and Ryno Booysen drive the energy and enthusiasm for expressing the loveliest wines from their country, along with Samantha Bailey's expertise in finesse. The key is knowing the characteristics of each plot, understanding the benefits each cultivar can bring, breaking rules and pushing boundaries. We use a combination of knowledge, a love of nature and science to create versatile, expressive and food-friendly wines from a country that has been making wine for 360 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.7501%;\"\u003eYear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 59.2499%;\"\u003e2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.7501%;\"\u003eBottle Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 59.2499%;\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.7501%;\"\u003eCultivar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 59.2499%;\"\u003e100% Chardonnay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.7501%;\"\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 59.2499%;\"\u003eSouth Africa\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.7501%;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAlcohol content\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 59.2499%;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e12.5% alc vol \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.7501%;\"\u003eUnits of Alcohol per Bottle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 59.2499%;\"\u003e9.4 units\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.7501%;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 59.2499%;\"\u003eWhite Wine\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.7501%;\"\u003eDietary Information\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 59.2499%;\"\u003eVegan and Vegetarian\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.7501%;\"\u003eAllergen Information\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 59.2499%;\"\u003eContains sulphites\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.7501%;\"\u003eFood Matches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 59.2499%;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGrilled white fish and seafood, roast chicken, pasta with cream and mushrooms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.7501%;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 59.2499%;\"\u003eWestern Cape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boutinot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47142486901027,"sku":null,"price":10.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/5118\/8278\/files\/2022CapeHeightsChardonnay.png?v=1701692974","url":"https:\/\/vinofandango.co.uk\/products\/2024-cape-heights-chardonnay","provider":"Vino Fandango","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
