Five Generations Chenin Blanc

This wine pairs excellently with dishes featuring nutty sauces, such as Cape "smoorsnoek," mushroom risotto, or butter chicken. It also complements pasta with sage butter and cheese like Gruyère​.

The grapes are harvested from 15-year-old vines situated on south-west facing slopes in Cederberg. The soils are predominantly Glenrosa and sandstone, contributing to the wine's minerality. Yields are low at 6-7 tons per hectare, ensuring concentrated flavors​.

10 months in French oak barrels​.

A portion of the grapes is whole bunch pressed, while the rest undergoes skin contact. After fermentation in 400L French oak barrels, the wine is matured for 10 months with monthly lees stirring (bâtonnage). The barrels used are a mix of first, second, and third fill​.
