Chamonix ran riot under the 5 star Platter wines for 2013, scoring full marks for 4 of their wines as well as picking up winery of the year. Looking at the location of the producers (vineyard location is a bit tricky these days) Franschhoek along with the greater Simonsberg, Paarl and the Swartland all racked up an impressive 8 five star wines.
What really knocked the winetimes team’s socks off at a quick and rather full Platter launch last night at the Vineyard Hotel were the Cape Chamonix Greywacke Pinotage 2010 (yes Pinotage) under the reds and the Alheit Cartology Chenin Blanc 2011 under the whites.
