About this Item

De Wetshof & Graham Beck Collection
1990 Bateleur & Graham Beck Vintage
5 (1 x 5) 750ml, 1500ml

De Wetshof Bateleur Chardonnay (1 x 1500ml)
Named after Africa’s famous eagle species, Bateleur is synonymous with a revered South African wine, symbolising site-specific vinous excellence. The De Wetshof Bateleur Chardonnay was one of the wines which pioneered this royal Burgundian variety at the Cape and since its maiden 1990 vintage has become known among wine-lovers around the world as an optimal expression of terroir from the De Wetshof Estate in Robertson. The Bateleur vineyard was planted in 1987 from plant material imported directly from the famous Clos de Mouches vineyard in Beaune, Burgundy. The wine’s appeal lies in provenance and the pioneering legacy of the producer, as well as its expression of soil, climate and site through visceral Chardonnay flavours of white flowers, citrus and nuts. Muscular and statuesque in structure, Bateleur matures majestically for up to 15 years after vintage. It is a wine that has created its own legend and is recognised the world-over as a true South African classic.
