Product Description:
The Rotsbank shows aromas of flint, grapefruit, and tropical notes, after the initial minerality of the site has subsided in the aromas. The wine is incredibly concentrated on the nose and continues on the palate. The tannins have enormous tension and the acidity and dry finish indicate a wine that will benefit from longer aging.

Vinifikation The Rotsbank vineyard is located on Aprilskoof on Paardeberg, on a rocky outcrop that in most places has barely more than 30-50cm of soil. It is incredible that the vines survive year after year. Many roots on the ground have cracks and restrict natural growth, but the vineyard produces incredibly concentrated grapes. Eben Sadie wanted to produce this Swartland Chenin Blanc since 2008, and with the 2022 vintage, he succeeded after having the good fortune to purchase this vineyard. After harvesting, the grapes are cooled and pressed as whole bunches for approximately 3 hours. After settling, the must is transferred to two old wooden barrels for fermentation and then spends 12 months on the lees.
