Obscura White Blend

Mushrooms, lamb, roast-chicken, vegetables, middle-eastern, cheese

Our OBSCURA White Blend 2024 is made from 41% Sauvignon Blanc, 29.5% Semillon, and 29.5% Chenin Blanc — all sourced from dryland vineyards in Darling.

Each variety was destemmed and gently crushed into two qvevri, where fermentation began spontaneously within three to five days. Fermentation lasted around 14 days, with the cap punched down gently by hand using a traditional wooden tool four times daily. This vintage spent six months on the skins, allowing for deep phenolic development and a textured, golden-amber profile. Daily gentle punch-downs continued throughout. This is our first time pushing the skin contact this far — and the results speak for themselves. No additives or adjustments were made; the wine is preserved naturally by its grape tannins, with no added SO2.

Klein Amoskuil, tucked away in the rugged Swartland, is a farm with stories to tell. Once a tobacco farm, now home to natural qvevri wines and certified organic vineyards, it’s all about winemaking with minimal intervention. No irrigation, just dryland, organic farming in the harshest conditions. The wines of Klein Amoskuil embrace a hands-off, back-to-basics approach. In their range of organic wines and natural wines fermented in traditional Georgian qvevri, each bottle of Klein Amoskuil wine reflects the wild spirit of the Swartland—earthy, untamed, and full of character.
