During fermentation, the Chenin Blanc undergoes whole-bunch press with no additions and the juice is settled overnight.

The wine matured for 6 months before being blended and the returned to old 300 liltre barrels and matured for a further 4 months.
White and yellow peach, fennel bulb and hints of citrus blossom emanate from the glass. The palate bursts with stone fruit flavours leading to a crisp saline and pithy finish. Pairs perfectly with seafood or any mildly spicy dishes. Ready for drinking 5 to 10 years from vintage.

Description
“The best glass of wine in the world is the one in front of you. So you must not be too worried about how much it cost or exactly where it came from. Really, just enjoying it for what it is. If you are enjoying it in that moment, it is the best wine in the world.” – Miles Mossop
An authentic expression of old-vine Chenin Blanc from the Paardeberg mountain in the Swartland. A portion of Clairette Blanche from the same area has been blended in to enhance complexity. Both varietals thrive in the region’s decomposed granite soils and this also contributes to the wine’s unique terroir-driven character.
