The Chardonny grapes for this Chardonaay from Lievland are destemmed, cooled and softly pressed after picking. Fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks with as little contact with oxygen as possible. This benefits the aroma and freshness. After a few months of maturation (sur lie) on the fine sediment of inactive yeast cells, the wine is clarified and filtered.

The Chardonnay from Lievland Vineyards is an almost French-sounding chardonnay. It is a delicious fresh and juicy wine, without wood aging. On the nose the fresh aromas of lime, somewhat riper yellow fruit and nuts. The beautiful fresh acids in the mouth ensure a very pleasant aftertaste.

FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to pick up the wine you will often also receive a nice discount .

  • Grilled salmon with lemon butter and dill
    The rich texture of salmon is refreshed by the lemon butter and dill, which complements the citrus aromas and full body of the wine.

  • Chicken fillet with creamy mushroom sauce and thyme
    The juicy chicken fillet and earthy mushroom sauce complement the buttery notes and spiciness of the wine.

  • Risotto with green asparagus and Parmesan cheese
    The creamy risotto and the umami of Parmesan cheese harmonize with the full structure and fresh acids of the wine.

  • Roasted cauliflower with tahini sauce and pomegranate seeds
    The nutty tahini sauce and fresh pomegranate seeds provide an interesting contrast to the tropical fruit notes and minerality of the wine.

  • Baked scallops with a beurre blanc sauce and samphire
    The delicate scallops and salty samphire enhance the mineral and briny characteristics of the wine, while the beurre blanc sauce emphasises the creaminess.

  • Grilled peach with burrata and arugula
    The sweetness of grilled peach and the creaminess of burrata provide an interesting contrast to the wine's fresh acidity and light spiciness.

Riaan Möller - Head winemaker at Lievland: "South African wines are called wines from 'the new world', But with the long history of grape growing in the Cape, I think it's better to say that we find the perfect balance between new and old-fashioned styles. At Lievland Vineyards, we are fortunate to work with top-quality Stellenbosch terroir. We take classic varieties and make wines traditionally, striving for the perfect balance between old-fashioned elegance and bright fruit from the new world."
