Description

Danie, winemaker of the estate pioneered the noble white varieties of Europe in South Africa and today the estate of 200 hectares specializes in superior white wines exclusively. Thus, De Wetshof, the first registered wine estate in the Robertson region, made South Africa's first Chardonnay Superior, Sauvignon Blanc, and Rhine Riesling Superior. Today Danie specializes in Chardonnay. Winemaking Methods: Danie de Wet adjusts his methods of winemaking from year to year, according to weather conditions and grape quality, in the belief that wine is made in the vineyard and not in the cellar. Bon Vallon is an unoaked Chardonnay exuding fresh green apple, peach, and citrus aromas with zingy, mineral flavors lingering on the palate.
