The Foundry Whites Mixed Case 2025

A single varietal and vineyard Viognier from False Bay. A delightful wine showing intense florals, luscious fruit flavours and surprisingly crisp finish.

Chris' style in the cellar aims to create a wine that is both a true expression of the fruit and a showcase of the terrior. Using both modern and traditional winemaking methods helps him acheive balance between the fruit and the terrior.

Intense and distinctive wildflowers, with notes of oatmeal, lemon cream, and oyster shell. Mineral-driven, textured, and long on the palate, this French varietal offers a unique departure from South African classics, making it a delightful addition to any collection.

The marquis wine from The Foundry and a multiple Platter's 5 Star winner.

Awarded 5 stars and category winner in the 2024 Platter's South African Wine Guide. This Grenache Blanc from the Voor Paardeberg showcases lifted floral notes, lemon cream, white stone fruit, and a distinct crushed rock minerality. The palate is linear and focused, offering clean grapefruit and quince flavours, a minerally mid-palate, rich texture, and a long, pithy finish.

Viticulture: Sourced from two adjacent vineyards on different slopes in the Voor Paardeberg, grown on Malmesbury shale and decomposed granite. Trellised vines allow for precise canopy management.

Vinification: Hand-harvested and cooled, whole-bunch pressed. Fermented with a high percentage of solids in seasoned French oak (Allier & Compiègne hogsheads), stainless steel tanks, and terracotta clay doliums (500L & 1000L). 10 months of lees aging before bottling.
