Chenin Blanc

This Chenin Blanc pairs well with seafood, particularly shellfish, as well as grilled chicken and vegetable dishes​.

The grapes for this Chenin Blanc are sourced from old vines in the Simonsberg area of Stellenbosch. These vines contribute to the rich concentration of flavors typical of the variety​.

The wine was matured for 7 months in a combination of French oak barrels and concrete eggs, contributing to its layered complexity and balance​.

Fermentation took place in a mix of concrete eggs, first- and second-fill French oak barrels, and stainless steel tanks. The wine underwent regular lees stirring (battonage) to enhance texture and mouthfeel. It was then matured for seven months before blending​.
