Le Chant Wines' vineyards are located on what was formerly four separate properties, the centre of which was known as Eikenhof, a wine farm in Stellenbosch’s Polkadraai Hills. Touring the vineyards with winemaker Petri Venter, he explained that the terroir is characterised by gently rolling hills of varying elevations between 220 and 280m above sea level. The slopes face predominantly south and southwest, which exposes them to the cooling sea breezes of predominantly False Bay and, when conditions are right, Table Bay. Besides the existing vineyards on the farm, he also showed us the new, young vineyard plantings. We also had lunch together at the restaurant on the neighbouring Skilpadvlei Wine Farm, where we also sipped on Le Chant's two wines, Le Chant Blanc 2023 and Le Chant Rouge 2019.
