About
Between two mighty oceans on the southern tip of Africa lies the historic Saxenburg Wine Farm. Here memory and the seasons conspire with the cellarmaster's craft to produce unique wines of consistent and exceptional quality. For centuries wayfarers bound for the East Indies found hospitality and relief at the Fairest Cape. At Saxenburg we extend this tradition and invite you to visit our world.
Product Features
- The Private Collection Chardonnay shows lovely citrus fruit, ripe pineapple flesh and some nutty characters on the nose.
- A full-bodied Chardonnay that ends with nice fresh acidity.
- Creamy tannins that contribute to taste.
- It will complement most fish dishes or can be enjoyed with lighter meat dishes and creamy pasta.
- The 2018 vintage came at the end of the infamous 3-year drought in the Winelands.
- Therefore the berries were smaller and the crop lower, but fortunately, we had enough irrigation water to ensure the vines did not enter severe water-stress.
- To ensure freshness, the grapes were picked slightly earlier and this is apparent in the beautiful elegance of this wine.
- The small percentage of new oak used adds lovely texture and complexity but does not overpower the fruit at all.
- Handpicked, fermented in French oak barrels for 12 months.
- 15% New French 500L Oak Barrels, balance in 300L and 225L French oak.

We're big believers in retail therapy
The stats we're presenting here are based purely on our staff, who make up a tiny percentage of the general population, but they tell us that 100% of our staff that ordered something online exhibited signs of excitement when that thing was delivered.
We know the saying "Money can't buy happiness", but you don't often see someone crying on a jetski - and not just because all that water splashing around would make it hard to identify the tears in the first place.
Although we do have to ask: if our savings are this good, shouldn't we be calling it discount therapy instead?
