Silene

The intent of Capensis Silene Chardonnay is to highlight the nuances and profound flavor profile that can be found in the Stellenbosch winegrowing region. As a contrast to the winemaking practices of the flagship Western Cape Chardonnay – which is a blend of several distinct sites from across the Western Cape – winemaker Graham Weerts focuses on the unique terroir of Stellenbosch for Silene. A blend of our estate Fijnbosch vineyard and neighboring mountain vineyards, the 2021 Silene offers alluring notes of lemon-lime, peach, and citrus blossom, carried by a bright salinity and richly textured, mineral finish.
