Lovely pale straw colour. Nose decidedly tropical with quince, golden delicious apples, litchi, mango, and summer melon flavours. Good weight and balance on the palate, layered with minerality on the finish. The wonderful mouthfeel that typifies ripe Chenin Blanc has already started to develop and will increase in the next 12 – 24 months.

Quince

Golden Delicious Apple

Mango

Summer Melon

The much-needed rainfall during winter and a rather cool summer provided ideal conditions for growth and ripening. An outstanding vintage for white grapes, no heat waves and low night temperatures together with a cool summer. Juice cleaned by settling, 50% of the volume was allowed to ferment spontaneously with wild yeast. After fermentation the wine was blended. Extended lees contact allowed after fermentation.

Mooiplaas Wine Estate

Mooiplaas Wine Estate and Private Nature Reserve is situated in the Westward reaches of the Stellenbosch Winelands, approximately 40km east of Cape Town. We are a traditional working wine farm with history stretching back more than two centuries. The Roos Family has been the custodians of this land for three generations. Our vineyards lie on the steep slopes of the ancient mineral-rich soils of the Bottelary Hills, where we produce a range of environmentally friendly wines rooted in tradition and artisan techniques.
