The Story: Sun-Kissed Cape Chardonnay
Part of the Lekker Labels, the Maasbaai Chardonnay 2024 captures the golden warmth of the Cape coastline. Each bottle celebrates the beauty of the ocean, the land, and the people committed to preserving it — R5 from every bottle purchased is donated to Clean-C to support local beach clean-ups and protect our coastline for future generations.
Vintage & Terroir
The 2024 vintage offered ideal ripening conditions for Chardonnay in the coastal Cape. Sun-drenched days and cool nights allowed grapes to develop ripe pear and baked apple characters while maintaining natural acidity. Carefully selected parcels ensure balance, elegance, and expression of the region’s unique coastal terroir.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Pale golden with soft, sunlit reflections.
- Nose: Ripe pear, baked apple, with subtle hints of vanilla oak and delicate floral notes.
- Palate: Creamy texture gliding over gentle acidity. Flavours of pear, apple, and a touch of toasted oak evoke warmth and elegance.
- Finish: Smooth and lingering, reminiscent of a golden Cape sunset.
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with buttered linefish, roast chicken, creamy butternut risotto, or simply enjoyed on its own while watching the sun dip below the waves.
