Description

Founded in 1995 by the Bottega family who also own Stellenbosch winery Idiom. Whalehaven is the third oldest wine estate in the Hemel-en-Aarde, after Hamilton Russell and Bouchard Finlayson. This is a cool climate district of the Cape, channelling the maritime air up from False Bay and is now one of the country's most sought-after wine regions, where much of South Africa's best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay is grown. Recent investments in the vineyard and winery has seen Whalehaven achieve a rapid ascent to sit alongside the region’s finest wines, further consolidated by the appointment of celebrated winemaker Richard Kershaw MW. The Terroir series expresses the nuances of the vineyard, while the Reserve range is a selection of the very best barrels in the cellar, from the best sectors of vineyard.

Tasting Notes

Hand-picked and whole bunch pressed. Transferred to a mixture of French oak barriques and puncheons for fermentation 20% of which were new. From a north-facing sandstone vineyard. Rich, ripe peach, pineapple, a lick of nutty oak, gingerbread; a creamy palate and balancing acidity.
