Description
Planted in 1972 as bush vines, their oldest Chenin Blanc vines have recently been lifted onto trellis. Situated on a granite-soiled slope 300 meters above sea level, the grapes are handpicked in the early morning with careful bunch selection. The fruit is gently whole-bunch pressed and settled overnight without enzymes. Natural fermentation occurs in French oak barrels (20% new) with indigenous yeasts, and about 20% undergoes malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged on its lees in barrel for 10 months, resulting in a complex and elegant Chenin Blanc.
Smells
a compelling bouquet with effusive aromas of white flower, stone fruit, honeysuckle and toasty nuances.
Tastes
the palate erupts with opulent flavours of nashi pear, orange blossom, hints of toffee and an exotic array of brown spice. A show-stopping white demonstrating the new heights South African wines are achieving. Stunning now and will age 4-5 years+. Serve with roast chicken and crispy pork belly. For optimal drinking pleasure the recommended serving temperature is 9-12 degrees.
