The Landscape Series Elodie

Pairs beautifully with grilled line fish, seared scallops or roast chicken with lemon and fresh herbs. Also lovely with creamy goat’s cheese, Asian-inspired dishes or lightly spiced seafood.

Fruit was sourced from four old vine bushvine sites in the Swartland: Rooidraai (planted 1981), Nuweland (planted 1981), Jakkalsfontein (planted 1986) and Serdyn (planted 1989) — among the oldest Chenin Blanc plantings in the region. The 2025 season was cooler than 2024, with above-average winter rainfall giving way to a near five-month dry spell from September. Consistently low night temperatures kept ripening slow and even, yielding a fresher, more floral expression than 2024, while retaining the concentration and complexity that define Elodie.

All fruit was whole bunch pressed and 100% wild fermented. Fermented and matured in older 400-and 500L barrels (with about 10% new oak). The wine spent nine months on its lees before blending and bottling.

Gabriëlskloof produces fine wines that reflect our own terroir's complexity, richness, and diversity, together with some irresistible old vine treasures along the way. As a result, our wines are elegant and complex yet accessible and enjoyable. We are a family-owned and run winery with sustainability, conservation, and community at the heart of our approach.
