Born to craft great wine, share adventures & make a difference. Hailing from South Africa’s rugged and iconic Swartland, we’re making fairly-produced wine that punches far above it’s weight. Real wine — limited intervention in the cellar, natural fermentations and native yeasts — genuine stuff with some real personality. No gimmicks, just well-crafted wines from the world’s oldest soil. We're a Socially Conscious Wine Co., crafting fairly produced wines that punch far above their weight and create a difference in the lives of the labourers who live & work on South Africa's wine farms.
Description
100% Chenin Blanc drawn from a blend of older, dry farmed bush vines & younger, drip irrigated vines. Its deep straw colour points towards both ripe freshness & complexity. The nose brings tropical & stone fruits first, eliciting thoughts of tangerine & lychee. The palate is round and fleshy, purshing forward lychee again, along with white peach, apricot & green apple, all carried by a touch of elevated acidity. There is Brightness & a slight hint of freshly baked bread throughout. the finish is long, soft & affectionate.
