A clear and bright wine with hints of lime and gold. The nose has aromas of apricot, yellow peach and quince that follow through onto the palate with undertones of pineapple and citrus.

More Information

In the cellar

The grapes were whole bunched pressed and cold settled overnight, after which the juice was racked to barrel and a concrete egg for fermentation. Regular lees stirring was done for the first three months to add extra palate weight and creaminess to the wine. The wine remained on the gross lees for nine months before being racked and blended for bottling with the final blend having 8% concrete egg, 16% new 500L French oak, 76% seasoned French oak barrels.

In the vineyard

The wine is made from unirrigated 40 year old Chenin vines planted in 1981. The vines are South West to West facing and are grown in decomposed granite soils high up on the farm at 300m above sea level.

Ageing

Chenin Blanc is a wine that develops and deepens both in color and aroma over time. As such it rewards extra complexity with age, while offering up-front fruit and freshness in its youth.

Food Pairing
