The farm has been in the family since 1898 and today, using a combination of sometimes risky winemaking techniques, traditional methods and modern technology, along with a sense of practicality and dogged determination born from living off the land all their lives, the Bruwer family is able to handcraft wine true to its motto: Made on Honour.

Tasting Note

This is a pronounced style of Chardonnay, one for Burgundy lovers with a rich profile of pineapple yoghurt, peach and biscuit. Rich and creamy on the palate.
