This refined Chenin Blanc balances its signature freshness with a fuller, more luxurious texture. Vibrant acidity lifts expressive notes of peach, apricot, line and quince, while hints of melon, green apple, and white pear add aromatic depth. A graceful weight and lingering structure round out a wine that bridges lively vibrancy with elegant richness - perfect for those who appreciate nuanced, expressive whites.

This Chenin Blanc comes from a single heritage-certified block planted in 1980. Despite its shared origin, the vineyard shows notable variation, so each section is harvested and vinified separately-true to our small-batch philosophy. After gentle morning pressing and overnight settling, the juice is fermented in a mix of oak foundre, concrete eggs, stainless steel, and mainly 500L barrels (30% new, from French, Hungarian, and Austrian oak).

Our Chenin Blanc comes from a single 44-year-old block on knorhoek Farm, nestled against the Simonsberg mountain. Known as "TheGallery" for its sculptural vines, this certified heritage vineyard grows in Oakleaf soil of decomposed granite and sandstone. Despite being a single block, the vineyard shows notable variation - each section is harvested and vinified separately, adding depth and complexity to the final wine.

The R44 wine farm route produces some excellent wines. Early family custodians knew of the land’s rich water source and the potential to produce bountiful harvests. In modern times, the vineyards have triumphed; with soil, climate, and creative planting resulting in consistently fine wines.
