Recognised as one of Stellenbosch’s iconic Sauvignon Blanc’s since the 1970’s, Le Bonheur’s Sauvignon Blanc is made in a classic and elegant style. The wine is a blend of two contrasting vineyards, which, combined, yield the perfect balance. The one vineyard is planted right on top of Klapmuts Hill, at an altitude of 450m. This cooler site produces zesty and crisp Sauvignon Blanc, with a refreshing natural acidity.
Elevation, old vineyards and very special soils have all contributed to Le Bonheur’s reputation as a leader of Stellenbosch Merlot and Merlot-based blends. The Le Bonheur Merlot is smooth, elegant and delightfully pleasing.
A classic Bordeaux style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The Stellenbosch Prima is a classic, smooth wine, with lashings of ripe raspberries, opulent notes of dried tobacco and hints of pencil shavings. A full-bodied and elegant wine, packed with layers of fruit and silky tannins.
Le Bonheur’s Chardonnay vineyards benefit from the shadow of Klapmuts Hill on summer afternoons. This cooling effect results in a long and moderate ripening period and wines with delicate citrus notes and distinctive minerality. A component of this wine is matured in 300L French oak barrels, which adds to the elegance and complexity of this special wine. Enjoy with grilled prawns or line fish, with a lemon butter sauce.
