Domaine des Dieux, Chardonnay, Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, 2018
At the very top of the Hemel-en-Aarde valley, cooled by breezes and the cloud attracted to the nearby Babylonstoren peak, the Des Dieux vineyards lie in a perfect spot for Chardonnay. This has become one of our best-loved wines. The 2015 vintage... Read More

Domaine des Dieux, Chardonnay, Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, 2018
At the very top of the Hemel-en-Aarde valley, cooled by breezes and the cloud attracted to the nearby Babylonstoren peak, the Des Dieux vineyards lie in a perfect spot for Chardonnay. This has become one of our best-loved wines. The 2015 vintage won the Veritas Vertex Award for the overall champion wine in South African Veritas wine awards, and the 2018 is equally impressive.

Terrific long finish, enhancedby a honeyed note. This perfectly ready-to-drink, barrel-fermented and aged (about 30% new oak) Chardonnay continues to offer outstanding value. Now-2025
