Description

The Barista Chardonnay has a bright yellow colour. On the nose this white wine from South Africa offers notes of citrus, peach, gooseberries and tangerine. There are also fine notes of wood of this Chardonnay which is matured in toasted oak barrels.

This white wine from the cool wine region of Elgin, located about 60 kilometres east of Cape Town, is wonderfully refreshing and invigorating thanks to its fine acidity. A fine Barista wine that is suited for a younger “audience” and experienced connoisseurs.

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Vinimark Wines

Vinimark is not a winery but rather a company dedicated to wine and brand building. It aligns with reputable winemakers and grape growers from across South Africa to help them with marketing and distributing. Barista Coffee is one of their most successful wines.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Pinotage

Pinotage is the red grape varietal of South Africa. In fact it was essentially created in South Africa in the 1920s by crossing Pinot Noir and Cinsault. The idea was to get the lightness and aromatics of Pinot Noir and the heat-hardiness of Cinsault. Since then it has become the trademark red grape varietal of South Africa. It has been over the last couple of decades that producers are now starting to really create beautiful varietal wines that have a wide range of red and black fruit flavours. 

 

--------THE REGION--------

Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch is the leading quality region in South Africa. It is home to many of the most famous estates and many of the top wines. Generally speaking it is a red wine hub with Pinotage, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon at the helm, though recently more white wines are taking over.
