We are in the process of moving some of the white and all of the red wine to barrel for maturation. Our cellar intake this year was small and we processed 23 tons of grapes.
Despite the harvest being long and stretched out, we have made excellent wines so we cannot wait to taste and see which wines are destined for the premium range or for our easy drinking range. It is a tough one since all the reds have typical varietal flavours, good colour, and structure.
Everything points out to the best quality harvest in a long time - the cooler night temperatures and longer growing season assisted in making this the best year in ages!
We are celebrating Chardonnay #ChardoMay Day! We are passionate about Chardonnay and we would like to share our new 2018 vintage with you. Every weekend in May starting from 7 May 2022.

It is International Chardonnay Day on the 26th May 2022. Our Mellasat Chardonnay 2018 is made in the Burgundian style and very popular. We bottled the 2018 vintage in October 2021. The wine was barrel fermented and the wine matured in barrel for 11 months and we only made 3 barrels of which one was a new barrel. Even though there is 1/3 new wood on the wine, the wine is very smooth, rich and filled with citrus flavours, nutty and soft tannins.
Available for R140 per bottle.
Our Seraphic 2021 is also available and this blend is 40% Chardonnay, 30% Viognier and 30% Chenin Blanc. The Chardonnay gives the backbone to our popular unwooded white blend. Available for R90.00 per bottle - an absolute steal!
This mixed case is available for sale at R637,50.

Our recipe of the month is potato and leek soup.
