Haute Cabrière
The renowned Winery Haute Cabrière is picturesquely situated on Franschhoek Pass Road, nestled among the imposing Franschhoek-Mountains. Since its founding in 1694, it has been known for its excellent sparkling wines in the Méthode Cap Classique-style. Much of the cellar is spectacularly carved into the rock, underscoring its deep connection to nature.
The Franschhoek region offers a unique terroir, ideal for producing elegant wines. Under the leadership of the von Arnim family, who have nurtured the winemaking tradition for generations, outstanding wines are produced here, such as the Chardonnay Pinot Noir.
Visitors can experience the spectacular sabrage ceremony every day, where bottles of sparkling wine are expertly opened. The Winery also houses a restaurant with panoramic views across the entire valley and offers a selection of wines, including fine Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varieties.
Translation missing: en.Tasting notes
The Haute Cabière Collection Amphora Chardonnay is a characterful single-block Chardonnay from Franschhoek. The vines were planted in 1983. Fermented and aged for 12 months in 450-litre clay amphorae, this wine displays a pure style, with a fine texture and clear fruit expression. Pale gold in the glass. The nose offers tropical fruit, with hints of pineapple and white peach, alongside fresh notes of lime and citrus, and a touch of pear, chamomile and wet stone. Juicy and precise on the palate. The palate is powerful yet elegant, supported by taut, well-integrated acidity. The fine tannins typical of amphora ageing provide grip and structure. Flavours of stone fruit, citrus zest and delicate herbal spice lead into a long, salty, mineral finish. Already very approachable, with potential to age in bottle for several years.
