About this Item

Reserve White, 2014
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Situated high above the fertile Franschhoek valley in the heart of the Cape winelands, lies a wine farm like no other. Chamonix offers visitors a seamless blend of unspoiled nature, welcoming hospitality, exquisite facilities and a host of culinary and viticultural delights, set amongst a working wine farm with a history stretching back nearly 350 years.

Critics Ratings

‘Bordeaux white blend with 75% Sauvignon Blanc, drops the new oak to 40% (versus 50% previously) but retains its pedigree in 2014. Stately, with impressive purity of fruit, vibrancy and poise; lingering quince finish from Semillon component.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2016, 4.5* 

‘Using fruit from some of the highest blocks on the farm, this marries Sauvignon with 25% Semillon, and is consistently one of the best Bordeaux white blends in the Cape. Creamy lees, pink grapefruit, toasty oak, some struck match and a crunchy, celery-like note.’ - Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2015, 94/100
