Finesse Chardonnay 1993

Named after the proprietors the De Wet family, De Wetshof has been synonymous with the production of fine wines since the 1970's and was the first registered wine estate in the Robertson Wine Valley. One of the pioneers in introducing Chardonnay to SA, they have now become renowned for their Chardonnay abroad.

This 1993 has garnered legendary status as South Africa's longest-lived Chardonnay. The wine that won Danie De Wet Diner's Club Winemaker of the Year in 1995, it is still incredibly fresh and nervy. Says Johann De Wet: 'It has always expressed site and place magnificently. When my father began teaching myself and my brother Peter about Chardonnay and De Wetshof's vineyards, this was the wine he would use to illustrate the importance of terroir-driven winemaking.'
