“Uncork the Joy: Celebrate International Chardonnay Day with Stellenview Premium Wines!”

As International Chardonnay Day approaches on 22^nd of May, it’s the perfect moment to rediscover a classic—and Stellenview Premium Wines is here to make that experience unforgettable.

Chardonnay is back, and better than ever. Once snubbed, this iconic grape has found fresh expression in the hands of South African winemakers. Leading the charge? The beautifully crafted Kruger Family Reserve Chardonnay 2021. Made by Stellenview team, this elegant wine is all about balance—pale straw in the glass with notes of citrus, buttery oak, and a hint of flint. Fermented in 300 liter French oak barrels, it delivers a creamy, layered texture that finishes with finesse. Pair it with aged cheese, smoked salmon, or roast chicken and let it shine at any table. A force to be reckoned with, the 2021 vintage received Gold at the 2022 China Wine & Spirit Awards, Double Gold at the 2023 Gilbert & Gaillard International Challenge and Silver Medal at Concours Mondial de Bruxelles. At just R185 a bottle, it’s a smart indulgence worth stocking up on.

Something that sparkles with meaning and style,meet the Kruger Family Reserve Marguerite Cap Classique Brut 2019—named after the Reino Kruger’s youngest daughter Marguerite Kruger. This sophisticated bubbly blends Chardonnay (81%) and Pinot Noir (19%) to deliver crisp pear aromas and a touch of biscotti on the palate. With its fine mousse and lingering finish, it’s made for toasts, milestones, and golden moments. This Cap Classique isn’t just beautiful—it’s award-winning, with top scores across international competitions. Notable accolades include 94 points at the 2023 International Wine & Spirits Challenge, Gold at Gilbert & Galliard International Challenge, and 4 ½ stars in the John Platter 2024 By Diners Club InternationalGuide. Available at R400 per bottle, it’s pure celebration in a glass.

Two wines. One philosophy: quality, elegance, and a touch of Stellenbosch magic.
