Robertson — an inland wine region of South Africa, along the Breede River, famous for its calcareous soils which are rare in the country — produces still Chardonnays in a fresh, fruity and accessible style. The calcareous soils provide a round texture and fresh acidity, in a modern, direct South African style.
