This Chenin Blanc opens with lifted aromatics, showcasing a vibrant bouquet of lemon zest, crisp green apple and a hint of yellow peach and transitions seamlessly into tropical notes of passion fruit and candied pineapple, adding a delightful sweetness to the mid-palate.

More Information

In the cellar

Grapes were hand-picked and crushed, with some lots undergoing overnight skin contact. The juice was cold settled to achieve brilliant clarity before being inoculated with selected yeast strains known for producing very fruity wines. Fermentation temperatures were maintained between 12 and 14°C to ensure a slow fermentation and optimal fruit flavor production.

In the vineyard

The 2024 growing season will be remembered for many reasons. Excellent winter conditions were followed by a historic storm with gale-force winds and torrential rain at the start of the season. Subsequently, a prolonged warm and dry period led to the smallest harvest in two decades in the Cape Winelands due to small berries and low bunch weights. The quality of the 2024 vintage will be memorable for years to come.

Cultivar

100% Chenin Blanc

Food Pairing

This wine pairs wonderfully with a beetroot and citrus salad topped with goat’s cheese, and complements steamed mussels in a garlic cream sauce. It is also an excellent choice alongside whole chicken cooked over the fire with root vegetables. However, if all else fails, it can be enjoyed on its own for pure pleasure.
