Product Description:
Pale lemon in colour, this is a delightfully fresh and pure Chenin Blanc. Ripe, juicy peach and pear flavours are balanced by notes of dried apricot and a little oak spice. The palate is youthful but wonderfully succulent, refreshed by delicious acidity and a long-lasting fruity finish that offers complexity and texture.

Vinifikation The fruit for this wine is hand-picked from a 37-year-old vineyard in the Tygerberg hills outside Cape Town. Our philosophy is to make the wine in a way that reflects the terroir, and this terroir has an ancient soul. We therefore farm the land gently. The cool ocean breeze helps to temper the heat, allowing the grapes to enjoy an extended hang-time. At the same time, the ancient Malmesbury shale soils offer the opportunity for dryland farming to obtain the highest possible fruit quality. At harvest, the grapes were picked in late February in 4 parcels at a yield of approximately 8 tonnes per hectare. This partial harvest was carried out to select grapes at different ripening stages and thus encourage complexity. The grapes were harvested by hand into 8kg bins and pre-chilled before being hand-sorted, destemmed, and crushed. Skin contact was limited to 6 hours, and the free-run juice was drained off to settle overnight before being inoculated. Fermentation took place in a combination of 300L, 400L, 500L, and 2500L French oak barrels. We use various sizes of oak barrels to obtain a different degree of oak influence, which can then be skilfully blended for the final wine. The Chenin Blanc then matured for 14 months in barrels, 60% of which were new oak, with the remainder being second fill.
