| Winery | The Chardonnay grapes come from the estate vineyard in Stellenbosch. The vineyards benefit from being 14 kilometres from False Bay, where the strong maritime influence cools the vineyards in the hot summer months, ensuring good levels of natural grape acidity in the final wine, central to the Mulderbosch style of fresh, balanced wines. The soil comprises decomposed sandstone with some granitic conglomerate stones, known as Koffieklip. This iron-ferrite-rich soil produces wines with more minerality and intensity. The hand-harvested Chardonnay vines are trellised using a five-wire cordon system. At Mulderbosch, herbicides are no longer used; instead, they use a mechanical under-vine weeder to encourage microbial diversity in the rhizosphere (rootzone). |
