“I wanted to showcase the magic of Chardonnay Pinot Noir, the remarkable old vineyards we have on our property, as well as the terroir of the Franschhoek Valley, to the best of our ability,” says Cellar Master Tim Hoek.

Harvested from a Pinot Noir vineyard planted in 1991 and a Certified Old Vine Chardonnay site dating back to 1983, the grapes were whole bunch co-pressed before going into brand‑new terracotta amphorae for six months. This wine will be Haute Cabrière’s first field-style blend.

“The Haute Cabrière Heritage 30 Réserve is deconstructing and reconstructing Chardonnay Pinot Noir blends in a higher format,” says Wine Director, Takuan von Arnim.

Small-batch produced and featuring artwork inspired by founder Achim von Arnim’s original 1994 label for the now iconic Haute Cabrière Chardonnay Pinot Noir, this limited-release anniversary edition is available directly from Haute Cabrière for R 590 per bottle.
