Tesselaarsdal Chardonnay, Tesselaarsdal, 2022, Tesselaarsdal

Tesselaarsdal is an incredible story. The small village of Tesselaarsdal in the Overberg, 24km north-east of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley is named after East India Company settler Johannes Tesselar. On his death in 1810, he bestowed the land to his freed slaves and owner/winemaker Berene herself is a descendant on one of those very slaves.

Berene started working at Hamilton Russell winery when she was 19. After becoming part of the winemaking team, Berene has been responsible for producing some of South Africas top Pinot Noir and Chardonnay for many years.

In 2014 Tesselaarsdal was born and the first vintages were made at Hamilton Russell with fruit sourced from trusted growers in the region. In 2019 Berene bought some land in Tesselaarsdal which will house the cellar, tasting room and vineyards. For now, the wines will still be made at Hamilton Russel, while here vineyards mature.

  • Great service and excellent wines

    Excellent service and excellent wines. I wanted a selection of six wines and asked Peckham Cellars to make the choice for me based on a price range. The wines were all superb and unique in that they were from small suppliers that I personally would have no knowledge of. If you want something different at your next dinner / party then I can't recommend these guys enough.

  • Super-speedy delivery

    Super-speedy delivery! My wines arrived safe and sound in fully recyclable packaging. A real bonus. Website has such a great selection it was hard to choose.

  • I placed my order online from…Melbourne

    I placed my order online from Melbourne Australia and the delivery of my birthday gift to a friend in London happened smoothly, quickly and well presented. Big thanks to the team at Peckham Cellars

  • Nice wine. Easy and efficient

    Great for sending to friends as gifts/congratulations. You can include a message with the wine, so ideal really. Fun range of interesting wines.
