This Chardonnay is totally un-oaked and shows the true character of this grape, fresh and quite zippy with citrus and passionfruit,  peaches, pineapple and nutty flavours on the finish.  If you don't like Chardonnay, try this, it is sure to change your mind.

The Alexkia lands lie in the Eilandia Valley, sheltered from extremes of weather, through which the broad Breede river flows.

Something new is in the air at Alexkia, even more than the excitement of a new wine estate.  This special part of the Western Cape, with its Mediterranean climate, mild temperatures and winter rainfall, is home to world-famous wines.  The Maestroni family hopes to combine the elegance and maturity of the Old World with the accessibility and ease of the New World.  In the Robertson wine region there is a rich variety of ancient soils and pure mountain water.  Alexkia wines produce wines of rare character and style. Franco and Carla Maestroni found their dream and named it after their two beloved granddaughters Alexandra and Chiara.
