Stellenbosch is primarily known for its outstanding red wines. When the premier wine region produces a champion white wine however, it reveals its true status for excellence and this is just what the historic Uitkyk wine estate has done. With the release of the Decanter report on South African Chardonnay, the world’s leading wine magazine singled out the Uitkyk Chardonnay 2015 among the very best.
Decanter features the field’s best experts among its authoritative contributors. In addition to the magazine, the media brand is the organiser of several authoritative and international wine competitions and annual events.
Decanter’s panel is known for its expertise
“The appeal of the Uitkyk Chardonnay 2015 to the Decanter panel is significant. Decanter’s tasting panel is known for its high level of expertise. To be measured at an international level like this is not only important to us, but also a reflection on wine. To then be selected as one of the top wines, reaffirms our own belief of what the Uitkyk vineyards are capable of,” says Uitkyk winemaker Estelle Lourens.
Uitkyk is situated on the southern slope of Simonsberg in the Stellenbosch wine region. It enjoys a rich history, which is reflected in a range of discerning and accomplished wines. The estate features amongst others, a Georgian neoclassical, double-storey homestead completed in 1788, one of only three 18th century houses left in the country.
The Uitkyk Chardonnay 2015 is available at R90, and can be delivered to your door when purchased online through the Vinotèque: www.vinoteque.co.za/collections/uitkyk
