Beautifully fresh and crisp with obvious gooseberry flavours surrounded by subtle oak nuances derived from best French oak barrels where the new compliment is a notable 20%.

Chardonnay continues to dominate the popularity ratings amongst the worlds’ best white wines. It has a convincing ability to produce both full bodied as well as lighter styled wines but always presents a larger personality than any competition from other grape varieties.
The Kaaimansgat or Crocodile’s Lair vineyard is skilfully hidden away in the Elands Kloof Valley behind the village of Villiersdorp, some 80 km from Hermanus. A beautiful spot tucked away inside a blind valley, presenting an artistic setting nestled amongst majestic mountains and fit for a Hollywood movie. Its Chardonnay wines are definitely fit for a Hollywood dinner party!
Bouchard Finlayson has been linked uninterrupted to this vineyard for close on twenty four years. It is located 700 meters above sea level, ripens a month later than other Cape Chardonnays and benefits enormously from cool autumn temperatures. The vines are not irrigated and they produce small berries of high skin to juice ratio, which adds an extra flavour component to this super wine.
