Stellenzicht Acheulean Chardonnay

The Acheulean Chardonnay is rooted in Stellenzicht’s history, its name inspired by the Acheulean hand axes once uncovered in our soils. Just as those tools reflect balance and craft, this wine tells the story of patience, precision, and respect for the land.

Hand-harvested grapes from our sustainably farmed vines are pressed as whole bunches, with fermentation taking place in carefully selected French oak barrels. Ageing on the lees adds depth and structure, bringing a textured elegance that defines this Chardonnay.

Fresh aromas of citrus blossom, pear, and white peach lead the way, with subtle layers of almond, brioche, and fine oak following through. The palate is poised between energy and refinement – lively fruit supported by a delicate richness and a long, graceful finish.

The Acheulean Chardonnay reflects both the character of Stellenbosch soils and Stellenzicht’s approach to winemaking: guided by heritage, attuned to nature, and always in pursuit of balance. It’s a wine for moments at the table, for sharing with those who matter, or for cellaring to reveal its full potential over time.
