| From
the Valley of the Vines : an ideal environment the
birthplace of great wine
From its position on the gentle slopes of the Devon Valley,
Louisvale enjoys one of the most spectacular views of this
idyllic area.
Louisvale's reputation for quality is built
on its Chardonnay. No fewer than 11 successive vintages have
been selected for the annual Nederburg Auction - an
unsurpassed record for Chardonnay and proof of their wine's
superior status. Says Louisvale Cellar Master Simon Smith: "We
are winemakers and not carpenters and our Chardonnays reflect
terroir characteristics that are well supported by effective
wood management".
The dynamic management team of the property, spearheaded by
Chief Executive Anzill Adams, intends to concentrate mainly on
three different Chardonnays - Louisvale Unwooded (maiden
vintage), Louisvale Chavant (now introduced as "Lightly
Oaked") and the already well established Louisvale Reserve
Chardonnay range - to reposition Louisvale as a Chardonnay
specialist producer. The only red wine will be the Louisvale
Dominique - a top class Bordeaux style blend made of Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. |
