Background

Grapes are sourced from 30+ year trellised old Chenin and 15 year old Viognier in the Coastal region, mainly from Swartland vineyards. The climate is perfect for viticulture with low rainfall summer months , tempered by cool afternoons and the cold winters allowing the vines to rest and build up their reserves.

Tasting notes

Vibrant and aromatic with subtle perfumed aromas, white peach and hints of jasmine on the nose. On the palate it has tight, white, fleshy, stonefruit and fresh citrus flavours bal;anced by bright and lively acidity. A crisp, incisive finish with a touch of minerality helps deliver a delicious, flavoursome and characterful wine.

Winemaking

Part of the Chenin Blanc is wild yeast fermented and kept on the yeast lees for as long as possible in order to achieve a rounded palate with good fruit concentration. Temerature controlled stainless steel tanks, no oak ageing.

Food pairings

Grilled prawns with plenty of garlic and chilli, whole lemon sole fried in butter and also delicate freshwater fish dishes.
