CHAMONIX
Steeped in history and boasting some of the highest planted vineyards in the Cape, Chamonix is set amongst 300 hectares of pristine natural beauty on the Eastern slopes of the Franschhoek mountains.
Boasting some of the highest planted vines in the Cape Winelands, Chamonix has around 50 hectares under vineyard.
The farm is blessed with cool breezes during the hot summer months and stony, clay-rich soil, giving the wines their unique personality and style. A philosophy of minimal intervention and environmentally conscious farming methods are just some of the Chamonix secret ingredients.
All the fruit is hand-selected, and the farm follows traditional methods such as making use of spontaneous fermentation and no acidification. Organic compost and mulch are ploughed back into the soil, while the use of green-harvesting (low yields per hectare) ensures that the vineyards are not over-produced.
The philosophy of working hand-in-hand with nature to create unique wines and spirits carries through into the cellar, where a small, hands-on team approaches their work with passion and creativity. The end result is a product that is pure, natural and made to be enjoyed.
