This Chenin Blanc based blend, composed of 92% Chenin Blanc with a touch of Muscat d’Alexandrie (Hanepoot), is sourced from dryland vineyards planted in 1982 and 1978 on iron-rich, decomposed shale soils. A tribute to thoughtful winemaking, venerable old vines and the quiet power of site-specific expression, the wine reveals both elegance and depth in equal measure.
Carefully matured in concrete and French oak, it opens with refined aromas of white peach, ripe pear and crisp apple, layered with delicate floral nuances and subtle mineral complexity. The palate is textured and beautifully rounded, offering gentle richness balanced by vibrant freshness and precision. Seamlessly integrated oak lends sophistication and structure, carrying through to a lingering finish marked by purity, poise and understated power, a captivating expression of South African Chenin Blanc.
