Details and technical informations about Winery Hillcrest's Chardonnay.
Discover the grape variety: Villard
Simple whites or reds with a pale golden or deep ruby hue, a supple palate with moderate acidity and understated fruity aromas with discreet hybrid notes. Disease-resistant. Now marginal, they survive in a few heritage plots in France and bear witness to the post-phylloxera hybridisations of the first half of the 20th century. Synonym for the Villard Blanc and Villard Noir varieties, French hybrids obtained by Bertille Seyve in Bourgoin-Jallieu.

Historic Cape Town ward 40 km from the CBD, among the coolest Cape regions: signature emblematic Sauvignon Blanc — the South African "Super Sauvignon Blanc" produced by the 12 wineries (Diemersdal, De Grendel, Durbanville Hills) — chiselled and expressive whites with vibrant notes of tropical fruits, citrus, cut herbs and saline minerality. Maritime breezes from False and Table Bays moderate the season. Also Cabernet, Merlot, Shiraz and Chardonnay.
The wine region of Western Cape
Cradle of South African wine. Signature Chenin Blanc (Steen, 20%) in ample, fresh whites with notes of quince, yellow apple, honey and acacia flower, from crisp dry to sweet. Sharp, iodised Sauvignon Blanc (Walker Bay, Constantia), balanced Chardonnay. Reds: emblematic Pinotage with roasted aromas (coffee, plum, smoke), firm Cabernet Sauvignon, spicy Syrah.
The word of the wine: Fruity
A wine whose nose is first characterized by aromas reminiscent of the world of fruit. A wine to be drunk young is essentially fruity, but all wines offer this type of aroma in the first place, which can evolve over time, from the scent of fresh fruit to cooked, stewed, candied or brandied fruit.
