Chardonnay and Viognier complement each other naturally. In Stone Forest 2023 from the Western Cape, Chardonnay provides freshness and structure, while Viognier adds a riper, floral note. Together, they create a white wine that invites you to relax and enjoy.
The Western Cape encompasses several South African wine regions with diverse soils and oceanic influences. For a blend of Chardonnay and Viognier, it’s all about the balance between fresh structure and aromatic richness. The 2023 vintage indicates when the grapes were harvested; the precise character of the blend is then shaped by the winemaker’s choices.
Peach, citrus, and a subtle floral aroma define its approachable profile. The palate is smooth, but the crisp acidity keeps the wine lively. As a result, the wine doesn't feel heavy, despite the riper fruit.
Serve well-chilled with a chicken salad, a light fish dish, or mild Asian flavors. Those who usually drink pure Chardonnay will discover here how an aromatic secondary grape can give the wine more softness and aroma. A pleasant introduction to the versatility of South African white wine.
The Western Cape is not a single, uniform wine region, but a large area with diverse climates and landscapes. That explains why South African white wines can taste so different. Chardonnay often lends a blend body and structure; Viognier can add a distinctive floral aroma and a softer texture. As a result, the combination is more than just the sum of its two grape varieties.
We selected this blend to highlight the interplay between the crisp structure of Chardonnay and the floral character of Viognier. As a result, Stone Forest offers an accessible introduction to a different side of South African white wine.
