Chardonnay is about as close to a sure thing as you get in the wine world! This vintage of Missionvale is not exception. Once again characterised by a relatively soft finished and seamless mouth feet. Aromatic with flowery vanilla tones, structured on a golden layer of apricot and loquat fine flavours. Maturation will enhance its personality.
Santé Classic Trophy 2005 - Gold Medal White WineThis is the tenth edition of our Missionvale label. It is perhaps the appropriate time to reflect on the back ground to this name.A mission hospital established 1822 on our property is arguably the oldest listed building in the greater Hermanus area. This hospital or possibly hospice was erected by German missionary Peter Leitner, it was described as a leper colony – which much later moved to Robben Island. Vintage 2005 was particularly dry throughout the Cape Winelands but this was not entirely true for our small appellation near the village of Hermanus. Timeous rains managed to retain excellent fruit quality and support an impressive vintage.
