Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Heavy clay soils rich in limestone allow this Chardonnay to emit optimum varietal expression in a cloak of rich complexity. An un-wooded wine, Limestone Hill has notes of grapefruit and nuts, with the complexity balanced by a nuanced elegance ending with a delicate ripeness.

As a culinary companion, Limestone Hill is superb with oysters, cream-based pasta dishes and light curries as well as roast pork and veal dishes.

Professional Ratings

  • 91

    Creamy and finely knit, with vibrant acidity buoying flavors of ripe melon, pink grapefruit granita, grated ginger and blanched almond. The salty underpinning and a pretty floral note echo on the finish.

  • 90

    Starting with a crisp, clean and mineral-driven nose of lemon skin and bright citrus aromas, the 2022 Limestone Hill Chardonnay is fresh and vibrant. Medium-bodied, the palate offers a pure, clean, energetic mouthfeel with crisp acidity before ending with a balanced, mineral-laced finish that brings me back for another sip.

De Wetshof, South Africa
De Wetshof Winery Image
De Wetshof is a well-established top Burgundian style winery based in Robertson (160km from Cape Town). Owner Danie De Wet is the pioneer of Chardonnay in South Africa, creating a wide range of styles (unwooded and wooded).

Danie began his winemaking career after studying at Geisenheim in Germany, returning to South Africa in the early 1970s to work alongside his father who began the De Wetshof Estate. Over the years, careful planning has gone into soil mapping the estate’s vineyards to identify the ideal terroir for the various varietals Danie nurtures both in the alluvial soils near the Breede River, as well as the lime rich slopes stretching up from the river. The Estate has become renowned for its elegant, award-winning wines and its innovative and advanced used of technology in the vineyard and cellar.

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.
