Tasting Notes

This Chenin Blanc shows elements of soft vanilla oak notes on the nose, alongside tropical fruits with an mineral palate of grape fruit and peardrop.

Vinification Details.

The grapes used for this wine come from 30 - 40 year old bushvines in Bottelary Hills, Stellenbosch.

In the cellar, the grapes were crushed, the juice allowed to settle and 10% were taken to 3rd and 4th fill barrels for fermentation. The other 90% were tank fermented. Both wines were kept on its primary lees for 5 months, blended and then bottled. Fermentation only happens through a natural process and no commercial yeasts are added.
