Welcome to Franschhoek Cellar

Our Town Hall was built in 1935 in the popular gabled Cape Dutch Revival style. Much like the character of our Chardonnay, this historical building follows seamless lines and gentle curves to preserve the natural heritage and architecture of the village, yet still expresses itself boldly. Vineyards vary in age from 4 to 15 years. The vineyards are planted on soil types that allow for the optimal vine growth balance. Grapes are harvested by hand in January and February at an average ripeness of 24°B.

The grapes were cold fermented in stainless steel and left completely unwooded to amplify the inherent varietal fruit purity on the nose and palate. Extended contact with the fine lees and monthly stirring added richness and dimension.
