All our fruit is hand-selected, and we follow traditional methods such as making use of spontaneous fermentation and no acidification. Organic compost and mulch are ploughed back into the soil, while our use of green-harvesting (low yields per hectare) ensures that our vineyards are not over-produced.
Our philosophy of working hand-in-hand with nature to create unique wines and spirits carries through into the cellar, where our small, hands-on team approaches their work with passion and creativity. The end result is a product that is pure, natural, and made to be enjoyed.
These will be the wines available from the Chamonix Estate Wines at the 2022, 15Estates Boutique Wine Show to come and taste and experience!
Our Wine Maker... Niel Bruwer
Neil has worked at some of the Cape’s leading wine estates as well as spreading his wings to experience wine-making in Oregon and Australia.
Together with his two-and-a-half years of working closely with former wine-maker Thinus Neethling, Neil knows the vineyards and wines of Chamonix extremely well and shares our vision of continuing to be seen as a leading South African winery known for a range of terroir-expressive wines reflecting the unique site of our Franschhoek location.
