Vibrant citrus notes of mandarin and lime on the nose that opens to white nectarine and subtle oak spice. The palate is tight and mineral with a vibrant acidity and a saline finish. |
| What about the grapes? | 100% Chenin Blanc |
| And the vineyards (terroir): | The wine is made from unirrigated 42 year old Chenin vines planted in 1981. The vines are South West to West facing and are grown in decomposed granite soils high up on the farm at 300m above sea level. |
| How was it made: | The grapes were whole bunched pressed and cold settled overnight, after which the juice was racked to barrel for spontaneous fermentation. A small portion was given skin contact for 3 days and fermented in Amphora to add complexity and texture to the wine. The wine remained on the gross lees for 8 months before being racked and blended for bottling. |
| Should this wine age / mature: | Chenin is a wine that develops and deepens both in color and aroma over time. As such it rewards extra complexity with age, while offering up-front fruit and freshness in its youth. |
