Villa San Giovanni’s friendship with the Zandvliet wine estate first started in 1988. Over the years our friendship has grown with more wines added to the Villa San Giovanni Wine Collection making our range unique and exclusive to us. To Celebrate our 20th year with Zandvliet we have released our latest addition to the family the “Tanya” Chardonnay which is fermented in French oak barrels and matured in barrels on the lees for 6 months. Our story is one where family, wine and food merge – and where people are always at the center of the narrative. So do join us on our journey.
