Franschhoek Cellar Chardonnay

Pure. Bright. A refreshing expression of Chardonnay without the oak.
Franschhoek Cellar’s Unoaked Chardonnay showcases the grape in its most honest, vibrant form. By choosing not to use barrels, the winemakers allow the natural fruit character to shine — crisp apples, ripe pears, citrus zest, and a gentle hint of stone fruit. It’s a style that has become increasingly loved in Ireland, where drinkers appreciate the clean, modern profile of Chardonnay made with freshness and finesse.

The fruit comes from cool, coastal-influenced vineyards, picked at just the right moment to capture both flavour and lively acidity. Fermented at low temperatures to preserve every delicate aroma, this Chardonnay stays silky and refreshing from start to finish. No oak, no heaviness — just clarity, balance, and a wonderfully uplifting palate.

For those who prefer Chardonnay without the buttery richness of barrel ageing, this bottle delivers everything: bright flavour, smooth texture, and easy versatility at the table. It’s a wine that suits relaxed evenings, fresh seasonal dishes, and sunny outdoor gatherings — a crowd-pleasing, modern white that feels effortless and thoroughly enjoyable.

Why we love it:
A clean, unoaked Chardonnay full of fresh orchard fruit and citrus. Light, smooth, and easy to enjoy — perfect for drinkers in Ireland who love a bright, modern style.
