This Chenin Blanc expresses a harmonious balance between a complex depth of flavour and lively fruit nuances including ripe pear, summer apricot and succulent peach. Zippy on entry to the palate, mellows with those apricot/peach flavours and some vanilla nuances.

The grapes were harvested by hand. After crushing and destemming, the juice was kept in two different settling tanks and fermented separately. The tanks were treated with different fermentation yeasts to promote both fruit forward wines and simultaneously, a great mouthfeel. While one settling tank received untoasted oak maturation, the other had the benefit of lightly toasted oak chips. After a 6-week fermentation period, the two components were blended.

This Chenin, like the Sauv Blanc and white blend we have from the same stable, are all exquisite wines that bring to life the regional diversity of an area that is home to the smallest and most varied floral kingdom in the world, Fynbos.

Hidden within these secret leafy biomes are intriguing endemic creatures waiting to be discovered. The same unique climatic and geographic features that create this myriad of natural flora and fauna wonders, define wines that epitomise the best characteristics of each region.

Ideal partner to grilled fish, sushi and light pasta dishes.
