Product Description:
Tight at the start, it develops into a full and complex expression of its origins, primarily from the Swartland. Yellow kumquats, pear, and straw accompany a fresh, zesty acidity and a mineral core. Over time, the fruit in the glass becomes increasingly lush, with almonds and buttered toast, as well as a hint of flint smoke. Precise and cellar-worthy.

Vinifikation
This wine was produced mainly from old Chenin Blanc vines from three farms in the Swartland (Nuweland, Rooidraai, and Jakkalsfontein) and a small portion of young Chenin Blanc vines from Gabriëlskloof. Unfortunately, the heatwaves in late January and early February hit the Paardeberg particularly hard. However, thanks to the low yields, the fruit retained its acidity very well, and the impact on production volumes was negligible. All grapes were pressed as whole bunches and fermented 100% spontaneously in clay amphorae of various sizes, as well as in older 400L and 500L French barriques. The wine spent ten months on the lees before being blended and bottled.
