Every year on 1 August, South Africa celebrates its Old Vine wines.
"Old vines make wines with a unique character. Wines that reflect the vastness of our South African landscape – our harsh climate, our old and sometimes fragile soils, and our complex culture," states the Old Vine Project (OVP).
For Haute Cabrière, the oldest block of Chardonnay on our estate was planted in 1983. We are one of just four OVP certified Chardonnay producers in South Africa and the only Certified Old Vine Chardonnay in Franschhoek.
Old Old Vine wines:
- Haute Collection Chardonnay
- Haute Collection Amphora Chardonnay
“It’s no surprise to me that a significant number of my wines and winemakers of the year have an old vine connection, confirming how vital the old vine project is to the South African wine industry and why the country’s heritage vineyards are so unique." - Tim Atkin MW
