International Chardonnay Day : Kruger Family Reserve Chardonnay 2025

As the days grow shorter and winter settles across the country, Stellenview Premium Wines invites wine lovers to slow down and savour the season with the Kruger Family Reserve Chardonnay 2025. Rich, elegant and beautifully layered, this premium Chardonnay captures the comforting spirit of winter entertaining, from intimate fireside dinners to long, leisurely lunches shared with friends and family.

Crafted in Stellenbosch and inspired by a lifestyle of warmth, connection and understated luxury, the 2025 vintage offers the perfect companion for the colder months. The Kruger Family Reserve range reflects craftsmanship and a passion for premium winemaking rooted in heritage and terroir.

The Chardonnay is a sophisticated expression of Stellenbosch Chardonnay, with vibrant aromas of fresh lemon citrus, creamy oak nuances and delicate hints of flint. Fermented and aged for nine months in 100% new French oak barrels, the wine delivers a luxurious creamy texture balanced by refreshing acidity and a lingering fruit-forward finish.

Designed for winter entertaining and elevated everyday living, this wine pairs beautifully with seasonal dishes such as roast chicken, creamy risottos, pan-seared salmon, butternut soup and artisanal cheeses. Whether enjoyed beside a crackling fireplace, around a beautifully dressed dining table, or during a quiet evening at home, the wine embodies modern South African luxury with effortless elegance.

The newly released Kruger Family Reserve Chardonnay 2025 has also received recognition from the Gilbert & Gaillard International Challenge with 90 point score, reinforcing Stellenview Premium Wines’ reputation for producing exceptional Chardonnay with global appeal.

The Kruger Family Reserve Chardonnay 2025 is available online at www.stellenview.co.za, at R185 per bottle.

About the Publisher, Graeme Lund

My mother was a Cordon Bleu chef and insisted that we eat with a near Victorian array of cutlery and crockery every night. As a young adult, I learned to appreciate the dedication and art of good cooking and as I came of age, I realised how a glass of wine and even more so, good conversation, could make a meal complete.

As a teenager our family took a holiday to the Winelands and I was in awe of the beauty, heritage and sophistication of South Africa’s wine industry.  Although not yet 18 I started to collect wines.

Lagers and pilsners where the beer universe for Generation X South Africans. When I traveled through Europe in the ‘90s I was disgusted by warm English beer, revolted by Irish stouts and Belgian sours where the worst thing that my delicate palate had ever encountered.

However, like Copernicus my view has expanded.  I have discovered that the beer universe does not rotate around a cold lager.  In fact I have since discovered that the beer universe is literally limitless. My Dark Age view on beer progressed into a Renaissance of awaking and then hyper-drived to an unbridled voyage of discovery.

As a student in the ‘90s I thought I was rather chic because I drank J&B rather than Bells and even sampled Campari.  It was not until I visited the Oban Distillery in Scotland that I learned about Single Malt Scotch and I entered a whole new world of discovery. 

When I first visited the New World I discovered Bourbon and that it too has a proud heritage. On a visit to Cuba I learned that Rum was not just a compliment to Coke, and that, after 12 years of aging, is as sublime as a Scotch.

Today I remain in awe of the craftsman who, with passion, skill and experience, produce such nuanced flavours and aromas in wine, beer and spirts. This website is about my journey of discovery and also of return visits to old favorites.
