Elegant, terroir-driven, and cool-climate crafted.
Oak Valley’s Groenlandberg Chardonnay comes from vineyards high on the Groenlandberg — an isolated, fynbos-covered, cloud-catching mountain site in the Elgin Valley, one of South Africa’s coolest winegrowing regions.
This Chardonnay expresses the purity and intensity that Elgin is known for: bright citrus, lemon peel and orchard fruit aromas wrap around hints of floral and savoury (like oyster shell and thyme) complexity on the nose. On the palate, expect fresh, linear acidity with vibrant citrus and passion fruit notes, fine texture, and a clean, focused finish.
🍷 Why you’ll love it:
Cool-climate Elgin character — vibrant citrus and minerality from higher-altitude vineyard fruit.
Aromatics of lemon zest, jasmine and grapefruit with savoury hints.
Clean, refreshing palate with layered fruit and balanced acidity.
🍽 Food Pairing:
Pairs beautifully with seafood (like grilled fish or oysters), creamy pastas, citrus-dressed salads, and poultry — its crisp acidity complements bright and savoury dishes.
