Pierre Jourdan Ratafia is a distinctive and delicious fortified Chardonnay from Haute Cabrière. This 375ml bottle is an ode to the farm’s French Huguenot heritage. It is the only Ratafia currently produced in South Africa. The name historically refers to a drink consumed to ratify treaties in Europe. This unique aperitif is created by fortifying the Chardonnay base wine with the estate’s own potstill brandy. This stops fermentation early, retaining natural sweetness and flavor.
- Unique Style: A rare, Chardonnay-based fortified wine in the South African market.
- Tasting Notes: Expect a rich mélange of honey, tropical fruit, fresh lime, and vanilla overtones.
- Versatile Use: Excellent served chilled as an aperitif or as a decadent dessert partner.
- Origin: Made exclusively by Haute Cabrière in the celebrated Franschhoek Valley.
Pierre Jourdan Ratafia adds structure while leaving a surprisingly clean and appealing finish. It also pairs beautifully with paté, terrine, or rich desserts. This playful yet sophisticated drink is a must-try for enthusiasts.
