This Chenin offers bright and lively aromas of pear, granadilla and lime. The palate is fresh and zesty, showing nectarine and some pineapple. The vibrant acidity adds length, texture and a crisp, refreshing finish to the wine.

Grapes were hand-picked in the early morning at Cavalli in three separate pickings. Grapes were crushed, pressed and settled overnight to achieve good clarity of juice. The juice was incoluated with two different yeasts: one aimed at achieving an expressive fruit profile and the other at achieving a fuller mouthfeel. The wines were fermented in stainless steel tanks with occasional stirring of the lees post-ferment. The wine was blended after just under 2 months on its lees and prepared for bottling.

Cavalli Wine Estate

Cavalli Wine Estate is located on the outskirts of Stellenbosch, South Africa in an area known as the Helderberg also known as the Golden Triangle due to the exceptional quality of wines that are produced in this region. With 27ha of vineyards planted in rich koffieklip soils and cooled by late afternoon breezes from False Bay our vineyards benefit tremendously by the unique terroir in which the vines are planted. The utmost care is taken to ensure that the vineyards are meticulously farmed for the production of only the most premium quality fruit. Cavalli Wine Estate is home to some of the best Chenin blanc and Cabernet sauvignon in the region, both of which have been at the helm of producing award winning wines. We also focus on Chardonnay, Viognier, Verdelho, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Shiraz.
