DESCRIPTION

VITICULTURE

The vines, planted in 2015, thrive in lime rich deep red Karoo soils.

WINEMAKING

The grapes were harvested on 22.5 °B. In the cellar, only the free-run juice was selected and allowed to cold-settle over a couple of days. The clean juice was then racked and taken to second and third-fill 300-litre French oak barrels for fermentation. After fermentation, the wine is left on the fine lees for three months before bottling.


THE WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS

This is a dry, but fruity Chenin Blanc with intense aromas of tropical fruit, some fresh citrus, and a touch of oak spice. The palate is rich and creamy with a firm but balanced acidity, complemented by a smooth, lingering aftertaste.


FOOD PAIRING AND SERVING SUGGESTION

Pair with any seafood or poultry dishes. Great with grilled fish!!

Serve chilled (7 – 10°C).
