Product Description

The Secretary Bird Chardonnay is a vibrant, full-bodied white wine that embodies the spirit of the Western Cape, South Africa. Named after the majestic Secretary Bird, whose distinct quill-like feathers inspire its name, this wine offers a unique glimpse into the rich terroir of the region. The Western Cape’s fertile, sun-drenched vineyards provide the perfect environment for cultivating the finest Chardonnay grapes, resulting in a wine with exceptional freshness and elegance.

Upon opening, this Chardonnay welcomes you with delicate aromas of nectarine and a touch of floral jasmine, which beautifully lead into crisp stone fruit flavours of peach and apricot. With a dry finish and refreshing acidity, it offers a well-balanced and satisfying palate. Ideal for those who appreciate a crisp, fruit-forward wine with a clean, refreshing character.

Crafted by Boutinot South Africa, under the expert guidance of winemaker Marinda Kruger-van Eck, this wine is made using traditional winemaking methods with minimal intervention to preserve its natural fruit expression. There is no oak treatment, ensuring the focus remains on the pure Chardonnay fruit, and the wine is kept on its fine lees to enhance texture and complexity before bottling.
