Produce of 100% Chardonnay fruit harvested in the cool of early morning from a single hillside vineyard of heavy clay soils so rich in limestone that it shimmers in low light; vivid platinum/yellow in color with aromas suggestive of orchard fruits like green apple and mirabelle plum, citrus zest and a discernable salinity underneath (Chardonnay just loves it some limesone); glides discreetly onto the tongue, then, at once, firm, crisp and broad on the palate with lasting pristine mineral Chardonnay flavor.

Chenin Blanc is South Africa’s most widely planted varietal and the Cape’s signature white wine, once referred to more simply as Steen. Indaba Chenin Blanc is produce of 100% sustainably-farmed Chenin Blanc fruit sourced from select vineyard sites in Swartland, Paarl, Stellenbosch, Durbanville, Robertson and McGregor, and characterized by soils (some of the oldest soils in the world) of Table Mountain sandstone, decomposed Dolomite granite, shale and red Karoo clay. The vines range in age from 6 to 36+ years old, more than half of which are low-yielding dry-farmed bush vines. Shimmering platinum/yellow with glints of green in color; fresh, tempting produce-section aromas suggesting melon, kiwi and myriad orchard fruits; tactile on the tongue, well-rounded, supple, slippery, almost gulpable and so completely delicious. Makes one feel good, too — Indaba gives back from its profits to the communities from which it sources. And, do take note of the value here.
