On the palate

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.

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.

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).

Knorhoek is not just a farm; it is a living museum that showcases the rich Cape Dutch architectural heritage and cultural history of the region. Located against the Simonsberg Mountain, Knorhoek has a heritage that dates back to 1694, making it one of the oldest farms in the Stellenbosch region. Visitors can experience the charm and elegance of a bygone era while enjoying the farm's contemporary amenities and internationally awarded wines.
